Friends.. we all know that leafy vegetables are very healthy for us. However you take they provide us enormous health benefits. And one of such easily available leafy vegetable is "Amaranth". It is called as Thotakura in Telugu. Thotakura is highly rich in vitamins and minerals. Thotakura is a regularly used leafy vegetable in Telugu Kitchens that is used to prepare various dishes like Dal, curry and Stir Fry. And in my home we too use this to prepare Thotakura Pappu and Thotakura Fry.

Thotakura Mango Roti Pachadi is ready to taste now.
