Red Amaranth sabzi | Red Amaranth leaves stir fry

December 23, 2018 Pallavi Bhat 1 Comment

Red Amaranth sabzi | Red Amaranth leaves stir fry – with step by step photos and detailed description. Now a days Amaranth leaves known as super food(because it a powerhouse of Iron, minerals and vitamin) but tracking back to history, Amaranth leaves were used to extract juice to treat diarrhoea and haemorrhage conditions according to Ayurveda. Also Red Amaranth leafy vegetable is integral part of many regional cuisines of the country.

When it comes to eating healthy or eating leafy greens then people mostly go for spinach, methi (Fenugreek leaves) or mint, dill leaves. But when it comes to nutrition its better to stick to local and fresh produce rather than going for imported kinds like kale, lettuce etc.

In the North part of India it is known as chaulai or laal saag. They prepare a quick dish called chaulai saag which is made by sautéing the chopped leaves along with onions, garlic and few other spices. Which is almost same as the stir fry I am prepared here, hardly few changes.

Resembling to Spinach, Amaranth leaves come in few varieties like red, green, purple. These are loaded with vitamins and essential minerals. Apart from that it also contains high iron content and dietary fibres, so it is good for anaemia. Seasonal vegetables are the best way to use in cooking.
