Punjabi "Sarso Saag" Recipe

Sarso ka Saag is very famous recipe from Punjab. This gravy rich recipe is made using half green palak and half green sarso. If you will use only green sarso to prepare the saag then bitterness of it may spoil your taste. So you need to add palak in it. Adding palak makes it more delicious and equally nutritious due to its rich iron contents. This recipe goes well with Makke di roti and if you don’t find Makka in the market then even you can eat it with plain rice. The masala used in this recipe should be in very less quantity because the natural taste of saag is just awesome and that’s what I like about this dish...I usually make it with crunchy Make ki roti in winter days. Come lets prepare this in my own style.

2 cup   Spinach chopped

1 cup  Mustard leaves chopped
