Mustard Leaves ( Sarso Saag )
- In Stock
Mustard leaves, or Sarso Saag in Hindi, are a key ingredient in traditional Punjabi and North Indian cuisine. These dark green, slightly jagged leaves have a distinctive peppery and mustard-like flavor, which becomes milder and more earthy when cooked. Sarso Saag is often paired with other leafy greens like spinach or bathua (chenopodium), to balance out its sharpness.One of the most famous dishes made with mustard leaves is Sarson Da Saag, which is a hearty, spiced curry-like dish. The leaves are simmered with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and spices, and then traditionally served with makki di roti (cornmeal flatbread). This combination is a quintessential winter dish in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, prized for its warmth, richness, and earthy flavors.
