How to make Bathua Raita Recipe
To begin making the Bathua Raita Recipe, first wash and chop the bathua leaves and place them in a bowl.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the bathua leaves until soft and tender and allow it to cool. You could either blend the bathua to a coarse paste or add the cooked bathua leaves directly to the bowl of yogurt.
In this recipe I have blended the bathua leaves in a blender once it cooled down.
Into a mixing bowl, add the yogurt, chopped green chillies, ginger, black salt, cumin powder and black pepper powder. Whisk well to combine until mixed evenly.
Finally add the chopped bathua or pureed bathua and give it a stir. Check salt and adjust the taste of Bathua Raita accordingly
