Bathua is a green leaf vegetable, grown in Northern India as a winter crop. In many parts of the world it is considered a weed and goes by funny name, such as fat hen, goose foot, lamb quarters, pigweed etc. I am sure most of you are familiar with it even if you don’t recognise by name, you might have seen one or two bathua plant popping up in your backyard with dandelions.
Soups, Sides & Salads

They are mostly vegetable and bean sprouts based with simple lemon dressing.
