Nari Saag Ka Paratha


 



Water spinach is a long, leafy green vegetable with hollow stems that grows in water or damp soil. It is also known as nari ka saag. 

Nari saag is a good source of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, vitamin A to maintain healthy skin. 

Consuming Water Spinach on a regular basis helps in increasing the iron content of your body. This vegetable is rich in Iron and hence is considered great for people affected by Anemia. Water spinach is also great for pregnant women as they help in increasing the RBC count of the body by helping in hemoglobin formation.

It can be used in soup, stir fry and in dal .

To prepare water spinach, you must wash it, trim it, and cut it down into manageable lengths

  2. I have seen waterspinach only in malaysian cuisine and sidelined it as one in south Asian cuisine only. Very happy to note that it is used in Indian recipes too, that too as easy as this paratha.
