Ridge Gourd and Amaranth Shaag Bhaja

This Bengali-style subzi features a unique combination of veggies, simply but tastily flavoured with everyday ingredients. Iron-rich chawli leaves come together with ridge gourd, which gives not just more nutrition but also a good texture and volume to the subzi. The duo is aptly flavoured with a tempering of cumin seeds, and a dash of common but effective taste-givers like onions, tomatoes, garlic paste and spice powders like garam masala. The resulting flavour and texture of the Ridge Gourd and Amaranth Shaag Bhaja is very pleasing to the palate, and this does turn out to be a very popular way to top up your iron reserves!
