A tantalisingly flavourful bhaji prepared with aromatic dill leaves, the Shepu chi Bhaji is an all-time favourite Maharashtrian accompaniment. You are sure to enjoy the herby flavour of dill, which is enhanced further by the addition of onions, and balanced well by soaked chana dal.

A traditional tempering boosts the aroma and flavour of this herby subzi manifold making it a sure-shot hit with the whole family. Garnish generously with coconut and serve it fresh, as it could become watery if left to stand for a long time.

I usually cook Shepu & Palak together due to that peculiar aroma of Shepu. But after following your recipe, now I wont b adding Palak hence forth. Chana Dal goes very well with Shepu, which I had never thought befor. A perfect blend of Indian flavours. Thank you.
