Kheksi, Spiny Ground, Kantola Chana Dal Sabz

Kheksi is one of my favorite dish. Kheksi  is also known as Kantola, Spiny Ground.  Today I am sharing  yummy and healthy homemade recipe of Kheksi Chana Dal Sabz.  It is a seasonal vegetable and it comes during monsoon. As it look like Karela (bitter ground) people generally avoid it as they  think that taste can be same as Karela; So all the people  I would like to tell its very different in taste from Karela. It’s not bitter do try it once.  Kheksi has many medicinal benefits. It is very good for kidney, fever, cough. Lets being:
