AMARNATH BHAJI / LAAL SAAG / TAMBDI BHAJI

AMARNATH BHAJI / LAAL SAAG / TAMBDI BHAJI I read  somewhere  that Amarnath leaves is Goa's official state vegetable. We Biharis eat it on a daily basis in Bihar but when I moved to Delhi it was hardly anywhere to be seen. So I uploaded the recipe of Laal Saag as we Biharis call it on my Instagram  @theindianmonicageller and I was flooded with queries. People were asking me why the spinach has turned red. LOL! It was then that I realized that this pretty looking vegetable is not available everywhere in India. Just like Amitabh Bachhan this too has been given different names in India like Laal saag in Bihar, Laal cholai bhaji in Bengali, Morrisa in Assamese and Cheera in Malyalam. This lesser known vegetable has so much to offer, Amarnath leaves are a good source of vitamin C and A, Iron and other essential minerals and low in calorie. This recipe takes so little time to cook yet the taste is earthy and delicious no matter which style you cook.  To
