Sarson ka saag

Mustard greens, cooked long with spinach and a little maize flour, then churned smooth and finished with ghee — the Punjabi winter dish.

Sarson ka saag

What makes it sarson ka saag

  • Mustard greens above all.
  • Cooked long and churned, not blended fine.
  • Makki di roti and butter alongside.

Where it comes from

Made when the mustard fields are green in winter, and eaten with makki di roti, flatbread of maize, a lump of white butter melting on top. It's the dish Punjabis far from home miss most.
