Here we eat the leaves of this plant as a spinach . It is my favorite spinach among a lot others. Different types of items can be made with this spinach .
Usually these spinach are not available in the market. Generally they grow in flat areas or in the wild. Also they grow more in low land, wet and humid places. These plants spread densely on the ground and are 30 to 60 cm tall.
Anyway, my husband surprisingly found these spinach in the market and bought them when he came home. I was very surprised to see these because I saw the greens after many days. Anyway, I have said a lot, now let's go to the recipe.
