Sarson Ka Saag Recipe (Sarson Da Saag)

Sarson Ka Saag

Sarson Ka Saag

Sarson Ka Saag also called as Sarson Da Saag and widely popular as a Sarson Da Saag aur Makki Ki Roti combo. It is a healthy green winter time dish and most popular Punjabi north indian traditional food. The combo of Makki Ki Roti with Sarson Ka Saag usually topped with white butter. It can also be served with buttermilk.

You could find this traditional Punjabi Sarson Ka Saag with Makki Di Roti in each and every Punjabi household during winter time. Even it is widely available across India in restaurants and dhaba, and across the world too. It is one of the healthiest dish as it full of iron. In many households, the dish becomes a staple diet for the winter – a thing that can be had any time – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Sarson Ka Saag Sarson Ka Saag is made from Sarson/Mustard leaves in which similar quantities of Spinach and Bathua are added. I used Rapini as Bathua is not easily available in the USA. However, it tastes similar.
