Pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles and turn off the heat.Release the pressure immediately to prevent the discoloration of the leaves.Heat oil in sautéing pan over medium heat; add mustard seeds and a pinch of hing and allow it to crackle.Once it crackles, add the chopped garlic, onions and cook until the onions turn translucent.Stir in red chilli powder, turmeric powder, jaggery and the steamed amaranth leaves and the moong sprouts.Stir the Lal Mathachi Bhaji for about 2 minutes until all the ingredients are well combined.
