Saarso ka Saag is popular in Punjab of Indian Subcontinent. It is a dish made of mustard greens and spiced up with some ginger,garlic and chillies. It is generally served with Makki di Roti ( tortilla made of maze flour).

It is very tasty as well as healthy dish. since the mustard greens are not bitter,so we use some more leaves like spinach but we can also use some methi (fenugreek leaves),bethua ( chenopodium). Each and every leaves are very nutritious.

It is mainly made in winter in Indian Subcontinent,as it is widely available at that time of the year. It is very easy to make and the bonus is your child will be happy to have it👍👍👍
