Saag

Saag is a traditional North Indian dish made from leafy green vegetables, typically mustard greens, although it can also include spinach, fenugreek, or other seasonal greens. The greens are slow-cooked with spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic, and garam masala, creating a hearty and flavorful dish. The texture of saag is rich and smooth, often with a slightly earthy taste from the greens. It is commonly served with makki di roti (cornflat bread) or rice, and sometimes enriched with butter, ghee, or cream to add richness. Saag is a beloved comfort food, particularly during the colder months.
