Dhatu Organics Organic Amaranth Seeds are whole rajgira (also called ramdana), tiny golden seeds that cook up soft with a mild, nutty taste. Pop them for rajgira laddoo and chikki, cook them into porridge, or use them like quinoa in salads and khichdi. Amaranth is naturally gluten-free and a traditional food for vrat and Navratri.
What is rajgira (amaranth)?
Amaranth (Amaranthus) is the seed of a leafy plant, not a true cereal. In India it is known as rajgira or ramdana in Hindi and Marathi, and as rajgaro in Gujarati. Because it is a seed rather than a grain, it is widely eaten on fasting days.

How to use amaranth seeds
- Popped rajgira: heat a dry, heavy pan until very hot, add a tablespoon of seeds at a time and stir; they pop in seconds, like tiny popcorn.
- Rajgira laddoo and chikki: mix popped seeds with melted jaggery, shape quickly and let set.
- Porridge: cook ¼ cup seeds in 1½ cups water or milk for 20–25 minutes, stirring now and then. Add jaggery, cardamom and nuts.
- Salads and khichdi: cook, cool and use like quinoa, or add to khichdi.
