The secret of real taste: not just mustard

If you think that only mustard is added to this saag, then you are wrong. The secret of real Punjabi saag is in the ‘mix’.

• Mustard leaves: To give spiciness.
• spinach: To give dark green color and softness to the greens.
• Bathua: It gives a creamy texture to the greens and is very nutritious.

(Tip: Keep the ratio 2:1:1. That is, if there is 500 grams of mustard, then take 250 grams of spinach and 250 grams of bathua.)

Step 1: It is important to “chop” the greens.

Cut the greens, wash them and boil them in the cooker. Also add ginger, garlic and green chillies in it.
After boiling the real hard work begins. Instead of grinding it in a mixer, churn it with a churner (wooden mortar). The saag cooked in a mixer turns into a pure paste, whereas the saag cooked in a dhaba is a little coarse.
