Sarso ka Saag (Mustard Greens)

Mustard Greens have a little bitter strong flavor. Have tried this recipe two three times jsut got it right this time. Truly had a very similar taste to palak panner :-) inspite of the strong flavor these leaves have...

Mustard Greens - 1/2 bunch

Moong Dal - 2 tsp

Garam Masala - 2 tsp

Chilli Powder - 1/2 tsp

Cloves / lavang - 2

ginger garlic - minced 2 tbsp

salt - to taste

turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Onion - 1 medium grated

potato cubes - handful baked - optional

I Pressure cook mustard greens with ginger garlic, cloves, moong dal and little garam masala. Once cool blend it to a smooth paste.

In a kadhai add oil / ghee splutter cumin seed and add onions. Fry till light brown add chilli powder, turmeric and garam masala, little coriander powder can also be added. mix well for 2-3 min and then add the greens. stir well and close it with a lid and simmer for 10-15 min till done.

Served with Makki ki roti. Didnt turn well it tasted very similar to a rice dosa preparation called varum arasi dosai.. tastes better with chapati or rice...

Have some more greens left would just make a stir fry veg with it....
