Amaranth here refers to a type of spinach, it is also known as Chinese Spinach. While there are various methods in which this type of spinach is prepared, I chose to add a tangy twist to it by tipping in some raw mangoes. As I was preparing the dish my stomach kept sending those hunger waves to the brain, which tempted me to serve before clicking the picture. Well it’s a good thing I didn’t give in to the temptation, as there was nothing left to click after our meal 😉
