Ekgaon Ramdana (Amaranth Seeds) 250Gms

Ramdana, also called rajgira or chaulai in Hindi and amaranth seeds in English, are tiny, round, cream-coloured seeds. Though they are cooked like a grain, they are not a cereal, and they contain no gluten. Ramdana is a familiar ingredient on fasting days in North and West India. Ramdana can be cooked in many ways. Boil the seeds with water or milk until soft and creamy for a porridge or kheer, or add them to soups and stews to thicken them. Pop them in a hot, dry kadhai like tiny popcorn and mix with jaggery to make ramdana laddoo or chikki. The seeds can also be ground into flour for rotis, parathas and pooris, or cooked like rice and used in pulao and khichdi. This ramdana is sold by Ekgaon, with stock from Madurai and Mandla. Store the seeds in an airtight container. Available in a 250 g pack.
