Indira,
Do you have a recipe for puffing amaranth grains (rajgira) at home? If you do, please post…
Thanks

Hi Indira, As usual a very tempting recipe from you. I live in Bellevue and have never seen this Chinese spinach in the farmers markets that i go to- Redmond, Broadway and West Seattle. Where do you buy this from?

Thanks,
Subha

Indira replies:
Hi Subha, I bought this from pike place market. There are few stalls on the outside and they sell fresh amaranth.

Hi! this green leaves combo is very new for me. Normally I used to prepare separately like spinach tomato and amarnath tomato. But its together…interesting and very soon I want to try this too. Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

I have never mixed these two together, except when my mom mixes them in the dal when there is not enough stuff. It looks awesome . Thanks for the recipe Indira

Hi Indira,

I am a regular at your site and have recently moved to Seattle. I have tried quite a few recipies and they have turned out very tasty. even my picky hubby liked them . Do you know whether we can get plantains and plantain leaves here? I tried Mayuri and Bharat groceries from time to time but did not find any .

Indira replies:
Hi Manju,
I buy plantains from Uwajimaya, Japanese asain store.

I love the way you’ve used the beans here…..beans and greens, they just seem so perfect for each other…. Keep enjoying the farm fresh veggies….if only, I was so lucky.

I hope you’ve been well, Indira.

hmmm… looks yummy..i tried the amaranth and spianch combo but never with red beans… will give it a try…. i understand the temptation to buy fresh vegetables… my husband shows me the unused vegetables at the end of the week that we would have to use somehow because of my over enthusiasm in the department stores

Indira,

Lovely post and picture of the wonderful greens.

I’m so inspired to try many veggies and greens I see in your posts.

Thanks again!
