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 Ka Saag aur Makki Ki Roti combo. Sarson Ka Saag is a healthy green winter time dish. Sarson Ka Saag is the 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 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.

Sarson Ka Saag

Ingredients:

• Spinach 1 bunch
• Mustard Leaves 1 bunch
• Rapini or Bathua 1 bunch
• 1 tbsp Ghee (Clarified Butter)
• ½ tbsp Mustard Oil
• ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
• ½ tsp Cumin Seed
• Pinch of Hing
• Chopped Onions ½ cup
• 4 tbsp Maize Flour
• 1 tsp Garam Masala
• ¼ tsp Red Chili Powder
• 2 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
• 1 tsp Green Chili paste
• Salt

Sarson Ka Saag

Method:

1. Wash and clean all green leafy veggies, then remove the hard steam part from the all leaves and keep aside.
2. Now boil the water in a big deep pan and add ¼ tsp salt. Once water starts boiling, add green leafy veggies in it and stir it for 2 mins or till soft.
3. Strain the cooked veggies thru strainer and pour cold water immediately over it to keep veggies color green.
4. Add strained veggies into the mixer/blender jar and blend it to a fine paste and keep aside.
5. Heat ghee and oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and pinch of hing, then add onions and cook on low flame till slightly golden, keep it little crunchy.
6. Add ginger garlic paste, green chili paste and stir continuously for a mins. Now add maize flour, mix well and sauté for 2-3 mins.
7. Add prepared greens paste of leaves, salt and ½ cup of water. Stir it and cook it for 2 mins, then add garam masala, red chili powder and stir it again for few minutes.
8. Sarson ka Saag is ready to serve, top it with white butter (mukhkhan) and serve it with makki ki roti or any flat bread with some chopped raw onion and enjoy.

Sarson Ka Saag

Tips:

• Pouring cold water immediately on boiled leaves is a best trick to keep leaves color fresh and green.
• You can add other veggies too like broccoli, Methi, Dill as per your taste.
• Add spice level as per your taste. You can skip red chili powder if it is too spicy.
• Use butter instead of ghee, you can skip mustard oil too.

      You could use chickpeas flour substitute of maize flour(corn flour), but the taste would be little different.

Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smo Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smoothies made with my favorite fruit combinations. I made smoothies with SunGold Kiwi-Mango, SunGold Kiwi-Strawberry, and SunGold Kiwi-Mixed Berry for myself and the kids. In our summer smoothie, we love the high vitamin C content of sweet & refreshing SunGold kiwi. These smoothies are simple to make and quite tasty. If you've noticed, one of my favorite fruits in smoothies is kiwi. I discovered these SunGold @zesprikiwifruit @shopritestores and purchased two boxes (they come in a 1 pound pack) along with my grocery shopping from our local ShopRite. I purchased everything I'll need to create smoothies.

Perfect way to enjoy tropical fruit in summer. If you are fan of mango, pineapple, lemon kind of tropical fruits, then you will love this passion fruit flavor in this Indian style kulfi dessert. My kids are crazy for this Kulfi. Sweet tangy flavor of passion fruit works well in fruit desserts, drinks and even some savory dishes. Earlier, I made Passion Fruit Panna Cotta and Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito, but kulfi will always in top of the list.
