Amaranth Stalks Raw Banana Sambhar
Amaranth Stalks Raw Banana Sambhar
Monday, May 19, 2014
Amaranth leaves are quite often used in South Indian cuisine, when the leaves are cooked along with dals or as simply as stir fry or else as mashed curry, we wont trash out their stalks aka stems.Once we remove the leaves from the stalks or stems, immediately we will broke the stalks as small pieces and use them in making dals,gravies or else as stir fries. So obviously if you get amaranth greens, you will get use of this greens completely and you will just trash their roots in case if you buy with their roots.
Last week, i picked a super fresh amaranth green from Indian stores, back home i prepared a simple stir fry with their leaves and used their stalks for making this delicious sambhar. Since i had some raw banana aka plantain, i just included them to this aromatic sambhar. This dal goes awesome with rice,rotis and even much more pect with South Indian breakfast foods like Idlis and dosas.Sending to my event CWS- Dals and Healthy Diet-Go green guest hosted by Amurta.
2cups Amaranth Stalkes (cleaned and chopped as medium sized pieces)
