Lal Math Sabji (Amarnanth)

This is a very rustic dish. Leaves of lal math (Amaranth) have a very earthy taste and are nutritious as they are rich in calcium and iron. Onion, garlic and chilli powder are added to flavor the dish, however they don’t overpower lal math’s original taste. This dish can be eaten with chapati/ Bhakari.
