Gujarati Bataka nu Koru Shaak is almost similar to Maharashtrian Batatyachi Suki Bhaji. Both differ by just a few ingredients here and there, thus resulting a totally different taste/flavor.

Meera, this, with puris, would be to die for. I love the garnish of garlic greens.
Beautiful colour and that potato curry looks so yummy.
Wish i had a piece of roti so that i could scoop them up.
Meera, wonderful recipe. I think this will compliment poori well. Hey what is dry garlic? New to me. I shall try this bhaaji with chapati. Tks for sharing!
This is a very nice variation to the usual sukhi bhaji that we make. I will try it next time..
Vaishali:
Greens of garlic does add a special taste. Do try some time.
HC:
Thanks so much. Wish I could serve you right away!:-D
Purnima:
I think since I was talking about fresh green garlic, I said dry garlic to differentiate. but instead it became confusing...I will update the post. Actually by dry garlic, I mean just usual garlic bulb that we use.
Maya:
Do try and let me know. Hope you like it.
Looks delicious! Makes a Good side for pooris and rotis.
i have garlic greens will try this out real soon!
All I need is rice and rasam to go with this lovely dish! Thank you so much! I always though shaak meant a watery gravy!
I made this tasteful shaak and we all loved it! I had left over for night, which I turned into paratha filling..tasted too good..(Ok..normal garlic..hey dont mind my queries, when I read some new ingr. I tend to get curious..I did use the normal garlic for this recipe.)
