Sarson ka saag

   The delicious combo of sarson da saag and makki di roti is the pride of Punjab. An amazingly tasty recipe made with a mix of healthy winter greens that are cooked till wilted, and then pureed to a coarse mix and eaten with a rustic makki di roti or cornmeal flatbread.
Sarson da saag is a popular vegetarian dish from Punjab. It is made of mustard greens and spices such as garam masala, ginger, and garlic. some spinach or bathua also added with mustard leaves to enhance the taste, color and thickness of the dish.
   Mustard is a winter and spring delicacy, and its relative abundance in Punjab and north India has made it one of the popular dishes in those regions. 
    I am very happy to share here the sarson ka saag recipe because its a simple recipe and with little efforts, it turned out so well. This time I do some changes in traditional sarson ka saag recipe but this little changes enhance the taste and make this recipe easier. Sarson da saag often served with makke di roti. It can be topped with butter or more traditionally with ghee (clarified butter) and gud (Jeggry).
