Whole Amaranth Seeds also known as Rajgira is a super grain, highly nutritious specially for kids. It is used in various ways either to make upma, halwa or ladoos.

Made Amaranth Seeds upma with mixed vegetables and topped with mixed dry fruits to make it completely kids friendly.

My son really loves Amaranth and I love having it on my couch, though its not a casting couch but it is best to make memories of memorizing those old days when we were taught how to design your own home with your own style from dining room to bedroom or styling with brick tiles to stone tiles or a vintage decor. Sometimes I try to decorate my home this way and when we visit mommy house, we love to have all kids friendly recipes on a glass dinning table with a chairs of wooden carving and a fancy chandelier.
