Palakura/Spinach Fry

I love my ammama's (grand mother) hand made totakura/amaranth leaves curry.She prepares it authentic way,the addition of garlic gives that nice flavor.I prepare palakura/spinach curry in the same way.Here comes her recipe.

Nutritional values:Spinach nutrition is amazing. The calcium content in spinach strengthens bones.The A and C vitamins in spinach plus the fiber, folic acid, magnesium and other nutrients help control cancer, especially colon, lung and breast cancers. Folate also lowers the blood levels of something called homocysteine, a protein that damages arteries. So spinach also helps protect against heart disease.The flavonoids in spinach help protect against age related memory loss.
Spinach's secret weapon, lutein, makes it one of the best foods in the world to prevent cataracts, as well as age related macular degeneration, the leading cause of preventable blindness in the elderly. Foods rich in lutein are also thought to help prevent cancer.
