This Vegetarian recipe in my style is made with Green and Red Amaranthus Leaves both. This lovely looking Veggie is a perfect one for Lunch with a dash of some Ghee and Pickle. In Urdu it's called as Maat ki Bhaji.
I had made it with some simple everyday spices used in every Indian kitchen. Apart from that, I had used some soaked Bengal Gram or Chana Daal for a lovely crunch.
An instantly done Green Leafy Vegetable that is healthy and nutritious. Amaranthus Greens are available throughout the Year in our Country and is easily available with our local Bhaji walas. I make it a point to feed my family Green Leafy Vegetables very often to get the maximum benefits from them. These Leaves are a good source of Iron that is substantial in keeping our Haemoglobin levels in check. Happy Healthy Eating People!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Heat oil in a pan or a kadai. Firstly add the cumin seeds. Fry for half a minute. Saute onions now that are finely chopped with ginger garlic green chilli paste along with the soaked bengal gram or chana daal and the rest of the spices. Once the onions are done, add the chopped tomatoes too. Cook until soft and mushy.
2

After the onions and the tomatoes are nicely sauteed, add the roughly chopped leafy greens.
3

This is done so very quickly. Do not cook for a longer time to avoid ruining it's nutritional value. And it's best cooked plain without adding meat to it. It's that tasty. But of course it can be cooked as a non-veg dish too. Yum!
4

Mix well and cover with a lid. Cook on a low heat for 10-12 minutes. That's it. Serve this with rice and ghee alongside your favourite pickle. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
