What is Amaranth? Amaranth is what we commonly know as “Rajgira Seeds”. We usually have food items relating to Rajgira during our fasts. Normally the food items are made using the Rajgira/Amaranth Flour. The most common food item using Amaranth seeds is Amaranth/Rajgira Chikki. even I was ignorant to the fact that Amaranth is “Rajgira”. Once I researched the same I came to understand that organic Amaranth Seeds are actually more nutritional than the flour that we use. There can be many recipes made by using these seeds namely Dal, Kheer, Pattice and Salad. The Amaranth Seeds are easy to cook and look similar to Khus Khus (Poppy) seeds only Amaranth Seeds are slightly larger. They are not quinoa seeds hence do not confuse these two different seeds. This salad can be eaten as a meal in itself.
