Green amlathan/ Tandalja ni Bhaji which is called Amaranth leaves in English. This vegetable is eaten during winter times. It contains essential amino acids and is rich in vitamins. It is a simple dish that and it is usually paired along with Bajri no Rotlo for a hearty meal. I grew up eating Tandaljo ni Bhaji and love the texture of leaves. Mom always paired it along with Rotlo , spicy garlic chutney and jaggery. Entire meal tastes so comforting. The shaak also can be eaten with Khichdi.
