This hearty and nutritious dish from Punjab gets its distinctive flavor from fresh mustard greens and the robust taste of Durga Mustard Oil. Slow-cooked to perfection, it's traditionally served with makki di roti (cornmeal flatbread).
Mustard oil not only enhances the flavor but also helps in better absorption of the nutrients from the greens. Our premium Durga Mustard Oil adds authentic taste and health benefits to this winter favorite.
Thoroughly wash mustard greens, spinach and bathua leaves (if using). Roughly chop them along with stems. Peel and roughly chop ginger and garlic.
In a large pot, add chopped greens, ginger, garlic, green chilies and salt. Add 1 cup water and cook covered on medium heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour until completely soft.
Once cooked, mash the greens with a wooden masher or blend lightly with a hand blender. The consistency should be coarse, not completely smooth.
Mix maize flour with 1/4 cup water to make a smooth paste. Add this to the saag and cook for another 15-20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Heat 2 tablespoons Durga Mustard Oil in a small pan. Add finely chopped onion and sauté till golden brown. Pour this tempering over the saag and mix well.
Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons of Durga Mustard Oil on top. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve hot with makki di roti (cornmeal flatbread) and a dollop of white butter if desired.
