SHEPU CHI BHAJI / STIR FRIED DILL LEAVES / शेपूची भाजी

Shepu bhaji or bhaji (vegetable stir fry) made with dill leaves is not really something that is appreciated by everybody. You really need to acquire a taste for it. It has a very strong flavor which does leave an after taste, but once you have got a knack for it then you will really start appreciating.
To mellow down a bit of its strong flavor I have added in onions which give it a bit of sweetness and moong dal which helps to cut down a bit of the strong flavors.
