Sarson means “Mustard” and Saag means “green leafy vegetable” so, Sarson Da Saag is a curry made from mustard greens and some spices, such as ginger and garlic.
Sarson Da Saag is a popular vegetarian dish, cooked specially in winters and is typically served with bread popularly known as “makke di roti“.
So this combination of “Sarson Da Saag Te Makke Di Roti” is a very famous authentic dish from Punjab and is a special menu item in almost every restaurant during winters.
The taste of this mustard greens is quite bitter and pungent and so it often mixed with other green leafy vegetables such as palak, bathua, etc. to subdue its bitterness.
In this recipe, I am only going to use palak with saron to make this delicious saag. The recipe is quite simple and the only time taking thing is the preparation, i.e. cleaning and chopping of these leafy vegetables.
The whole step by step process with descriptive images is discussed below and if you follow each step, then you will get the same authentic taste from Punjab.
