Savor The Taste Of Punjab: Classic Sarson Da Saag Recipe

Prepare the Greens

 Wash and chop the mustard leaves, spinach, and bathua leaves (if using). Drain excess water.

Pressure Cook the Greens

 In a pressure cooker, add the chopped greens along with garlic, ginger, onion, green chilies, salt, and water. Close the lid and cook for about 4 whistles on medium heat.

Mash

Once cooked, let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid and mash the greens coarsely with a wooden spoon or potato masher.

Add Cornmeal

 Mix in the cornmeal into the mashed greens thoroughly. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat until it thickens.

Prepare Tempering

In a separate pan, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and onion; sauté until golden brown.

Serve

 Serve hot with Makki di Roti, topped with a dollop of butter or ghee on top. Enjoy with some jaggery or pickles on the side for an authentic Punjabi experience!
