Callaloo Stir Fry / Amaranth Stir Fry / Mulai Keerai Poriyal

After a way long time i find this Amaranth Leaves / Mulai Keerai in the local Grocery store, like Indian here we do not get varieties of Greens only spinach. And in Indian Grocery store can get Methi leaves and rarely Drumstick leaves & Sorrel Leaves. During our this month's visit to Chicago's Devon street shopping i am happy to saw this Amaranth leaves in one shop in the name of Callaloo. I have no idea on the name but the leaves look like that of Amaranth leaves/Mulai Keerai. So i searched on web for Callaloo and finally happy to know that its same Amaranth leaves with different name. Soon i picked a bunch of it since i love Mulai keerai poriyal and masiyal a lot. After coming home next day made this poriyal and loved it so much. Wanted to try Keerai Masiyal with it soon.
Callaloo Stir fry is one such quick and healthy stir fry which can be served with plain rice or as a side dish with variety rice, sambar sadham, rasam n rice. I served with Rice & Tomattilo Dal, that was a delicious & filling combo.
