SUVA BHAJIA, DILL LEAVES BHAJIA, BHAJIYA , SHEPU CHE BHAJIA

Dill is relaxant, fortifying (strength giving), diuretic (increases urination helping removal of toxic substances from the body), carminative (helps removal of gases), anti spasmodic (prevents cramps), anti flatulent, stimulates lactation (galactagogue) and endocrinal secretions, enhances libido due to presence of Arginine and last but not the least, it ensures bone and dental health being a good source of calcium. Dill is also very rich in minerals, vitamin C and flavonoids.  It is known as Suva, and Shepu in Marathi. 

Suva  or Dill  is a leafy vegetable which is very good for health.  It has got the medicinal properties as mentioned above.    Suva Bhajiya  is made  along with moongdal, onion and little bit spice to satisfy your taste bud.  I have  already posted shepuche vade, dill leaves dosa.
