Amaranth Daal – Healthy Delicious Yellow lentils cooked with red amaranth leaves

Amaranth daal  – Red Amaranth is very healthy and contains twice calcium than spinach yet less popular than spinach or any other green.It taste mild and nutty,and is rich in Iron,Magnesium,fiber ,calcium,protein.

I saw these leaves only after coming to Dubai as they are not available in my home town,since then I have never tried these due to its dark red color,but few days back I brought a bunch and thought of trying to mix it with moong daal like I always make with spinach.Loved the beautiful color of the daal as if cooked with lots of tomatoes and taste good too.
