**************************************
Kohsarean people used many vagitables in old and the last days of agri based culture of Circle Bakote, Murree Hills and Galyat. These botanicle spices are available in modern time but new Kosarean genration have no knowledge about it. Hazara Gazetteer (translated by Prof. Iftekhar Ahmed) narrates all this kind of vegetables of Kohsar. Internet access made it possible about knowledge of these useful plants. It is not my writing but it is my search and I only copy it on blog.
