    Cholai ka Saag |Amaranth Greens Gravy

    Cholai Ka Saag | Dantu Soppu Gojju | Green Amaranthus Gravy is nutritious ,healthy and tasty gravy made with Green Leafy Vegetables. This recipe is similar to that of sarso ka saag but with different greens. Along with green amaranthus , spinach , fenugreek and dill leaves are used for making this delicious gravy.

    Its winter and lot of greens are in season . In South India we don't get Mustard leaves and Bathua easily with vegetable vendors as in North and Central India . So with available greens which are locally available , I prepared similar Saag . Tastewise its entirely different from sarso ka saag as greens useds are different but this too tastes extremely good.

    This recipe is same as that of Masoppu Sambar | Assorted Greens Curry  the only difference lies with the exclusion of Toor dal . I have used 1 big bunch of Green Amaranthus Leaves / Dantu Soppu / Cholai , 1 medium bunch Spinach/ palak , 1 Cup fenugreek leaves/ methi and 1 small bunch Dill leaves/sabbasige / Shepu .

    Adding dill leaves is very much recommended here , as it gives a mild flavour . The flavour of dill leaves is subtle and not overpowering hence adding dill leaves is must . I'm emphasising here to add dill leaves because many complaints saying that they don't like the flavour of dill leaves. But this recipe calls for dill leaves ,so please don't skip if you want to get the actual taste of Cholai ka Saag | Dantu Soppu Gojju

    Amaranthus leaves and seeds are very nutritious and need to a part of our daily diet. Amaranth leaves are one of the richest sources of Vitamin C , Vitamin K , B Complex Vitamins ,Iron , antioxidants and minerals. It contains higher values of minerals than spinach such as calcium , magnesium and zinc .

    Amaranth leaves and seeds are one of the Indian Superfood. So try adding this leaves and seeds ( rajgira) in your diet which is locally found. Select healthy Indian foods , cook your own food ,stay healthy and fit .
