In India, Diwali is the festival of lights.
On the day before Diwali Indians have the ritual
of eating 14 sakh or 14 forms of Spinach.
It is called choddoshakh.
The types of shakh are called Pui shakh, Palang Shakh,
Lal Shakh, Kolmi shakh, Methi Shakh, Note Shakh to name a few.

Do you mean to say that there are 14 dishes or that there are 14 types of the plant?
