    This is a super simple curry that I made couple of months ago after I harvested a bunch of amaranth leaves from my container garden. I asked my mom what to cook with the greens and she gave me this recipe that she saw on one of the Telugu cooking shows.

    Once all the ingredients are prepped and ready to go, this dish gets done in literally minutes. Amaranth/ thotakura doesn't take long to cook, about 4~5 minutes max. Other greens like spinach, swiss chard or even kale can be used, cooking times will have to be adjusted accordingly.

      I love thotakura but do not make it as often here. Wadiyala thotakura looks tasty. I should start watching these telugu cooking shows online. You post such good recipes from these shows. Our cable provider doesn't offer telugu channels.
