Sarron Da Saag or Sarson ka saag is a popular curry in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan made from mustard leaves (sarson) and spices. This is typically a Punjabi dish tastes really delicious with Makki ki Roti (Indian maize flat bread) and dollops of fresh white butter) or pure desi ghee (clarified butter).
Heat oil in a pressure cooker,add greens(thoroughly washed and chopped) , green chillies,add ginger, garlic and swat for 2 min.Add sugar and little salt and mix,add 1 cup water,pressure cook till 2 whistles.
Cool off the greens and Mash well.Heat butter or ghee in a pan, add grated onion, saute till brown,ad mashed greens and swat for 2 min.
Mix yogurt and maize flour (vegans can use water instead of yogurt)and add this paste to the greens,mix well.Simmer for few min.
Add garam masala ,mix well and put off the flame,add lemon juice,taste the seasoning (salt) and serve hot with dollops of butter with makki ki roti, or missi roti or plain paratha.
as winter season slowly entered in our life in india,just wanted to welcome it with this dish so made for lunch,as it is best served with makke di roti,which is hard to digest at night....:)
HI Amandeep, Sangeeta is one of our awesome members and a nutritionist. I find her recipes have a nutritional/healthy spin on top of authentic dishes. May be this is closer to what you are looking for ? http://chefinyou.com/2010/02/sarson-ka-saag-recipe/ In general though, every two people have a slight difference in style. Do you think this confusion might arise from the fact that this recipe has a different style from mine? Do let us know - we are very open to feedback and strive to make the site better and better for users like you -DK
