What makes this wholesome dish so exciting? Well, simply the fact that it brings together a combination of greens, with chana dal, a horde of veggies, and a plethora of apt spices!

The good news is that this exciting bhaji just got easier and quicker to make, thanks to the Microwave oven. Serve this recipe hot and fresh, with your choice of roti or rice.

Sai bhaji prepared quickly in microwave.. just within 13 minutes.. I loved the taste of the dill leaves added to it.. and the chana dal gives a crunch to the sabji.. and mildly spiced. It goes well with roti and bhakri.
