The winter season if you travel across the countryside or villages in India, you can see the green crop all over. This view just looks awesome and tempts you to go more natural in your diet. The markets are flooded with the green leafy vegetables and we have all studied the huge benefits these give to our body in the long run. This weekend I bought some bathua leaves and used them to make Bathuye Ki Poori. These swelling poori’s give a nice aroma and taste wonderful and go well any Indian curry, however I suggest you try them with some home made aaloo ki sabzi and achaar.
