Sarson Ka Saag: Curry Made of Mustard Leaves & Spinach

Sarson ka Saag is a popular winter recipe when the fields in most parts of North India glow with pretty yellow mustard flowers. I was craving for the dish. Well, I didn’t know that cleaning the leaves to prepare the saag would be such an elaborate task, but the effort was worth it. When I checked out the recipes for Sarsaon ka saag, it also included the use of spinach, so I did a last minute running around for the same. Here you go with the recipe. This is best eaten with Makai ki Roti (Indian bread made of maize flour/corn meal / corn flour).
