It's a very commonplace & regular yet absolutely delectable form of having this 'Red Spinach' or the 'Red Amaranthus' or 'Laal Shaak' or 'Laal Note Shaak', in the form of the Sabji or Bhaji-
In the most of the 'Sindhi' and 'Maharashtrian' households & in their usual & normal homely meal palates...

At this point: Add in the chopped Lal Saag/Math & keep stirring gently but continuously & stir-fry the same

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
