Note: Bohar bhaaji is seasonal vegetable which comes for 1-2 months only .Its a traditional Chhattisgarhi recipe and during those months Chhattisgarhi families eat with lots of interest.

पहले बुहार भाजी को अच्छे  से धो लें। कडाई में थोडा पानी लेकर मुट्ठी भर  चने की दाल उबाल लें। १-२ उबाल आने पर भाजी को डालें और मिर्च , धनिया ,हल्दी पाउडर ,नमक और थोडा छाछ मिलाएं और ढक कर पकाने देंवें। थोड़े देर बाद जब भाजी मुलायम हो जाए और पक जाए तब गैस बंद कर दें। अब एक दुसरे कडाई में तेल गरम करे और ८-१० लहसून की कलियों के साथ भाजी को तड़का दें। 
गरम भाजी का स्वाद गरमा गरम चावल के साथ लें। 
यह भाजी केवल कुछ महीने ही मिलती है इसलिए इसका विशेष महत्व है और छत्तीसगढ़ी परिवारों में बहुत चाव से खाया जाता है.
