Amaranth leafy vegetable is a flavourful , nutritious leafy vegetable available at this time. In my state Odisha, variations of delicious recipes are prepared from amaranth leafy vegetables. In Puri Jagannath temple this leafy vegetable is cooked with fresh vegetables and grated coconut.

I have prepared with a variation, using yellow split moong dal for a different one recipe. My mother used to add, urad dal bodi, grated coconut along with daal and it's very delicious. I have taken, both green and purple Amaranthus saag. In Odisha we call this saag as Koshala Saag
