We have heard and been told always to include leafy green vegetables. While other leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, lettuce, fenugreek are very famous, amaranthus also known as 'chaulai' is rarely found to shop. Amaranthus comes in various colours from green, gold, red to purple. Amaranthus leaves are a storehouse of phytonutrients and antioxidants that provides a host of health benefits and boosts immunity.

Here I have taken amaranth green leaves (chaulai) and added sesame seeds to create a delicious dish.
