Amaranath leaves stir fry, Thottakura vepudu recipe

Amarnath leaves stir fry/ Thoottakura vepudu/ thandu keerai is one such super healthy and quick to make recipe that goes well with plain white rice, curd rice, sambar and even with non veg gravy along with white rice. These amarnath leaves are storehouse of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants that gives so much goodness to our health. It is super easy to prepare as it just needs to be washed and can be chopped with having to separate the leaves from stem. Yes the stem can also be used in the cooking which also contains lot of goodness. Chop and cook how simple is that unlike other spinach that needs little extra efforts in discarding stems and separating leaves and stems. I wouldn’t suggest making dal/ gravy with this red leaves as it spreads its red color throughout the gravy so the best way to consume it is stir fry, but again if you are ok with your dal/ gravy turning red then it should be fine . So lets get to the making!
