To avoid war, Shri Krishna negotiated with Duryodhan and tried to convince him to give only five villages to Pandavas, but Duryodhan was not ready to give land equal to the tip of[4] a needle without war. Angered by this, Shri Krishna left the dry fruits of Duryodhan and crossed the Ganga and reached Mahatma Vidurkuti and ate bathua greens with great love. Mahatma Vidur is mentioned in this incident in the mantra of offering food to God after worship - 'Add such a food to me, which becomes nectar, Vidur ate the dry fruits of Duryodhan[5]Bathua is available throughout the year
