sarson ka saag & makai ki roti ...

sarson ka saag and makai ki roti is an all time favourite dish of all punjabis and winters are incomplete without this dish....

sarson ka saag ..

i usually mix palak saag and sarson saag together ,it tastes yummy..and gives nice aroma of saag.

ingredients.

palak saag. (1 bundle..if it comes in bundle)

sarson saag (2 bundle..)

onions chopped

tomatoes chopped

garlic chopped or paste

ginger chopped or paste

green chillies chopped

salt to taste

red chilli powder ,1 1/2 tsp

dhaniya powder 1 tsp

oil

water as per the requirement

Method :

first cut the palak saag and sarson saag properly ..taking the leaves and leaving out the root part. wash it thoroughly as it contains sometimes mud.. so make sure the saag is washed properly..2 -3 times in water. 

Then take pressure cooker, add palak and sarson saag , add some water and salt .. and cover the lid and pressure cook it till 2 whistles, and then switch off your gas , let it cool down.

Then take your mixer jar, and add the bolied palak sarson saag to it, grind it into paste. ,and keep it aside. Now start preparing your tadka for the saag which is the most important part,the yummy good taste and aroma of saag will come out once it mixes well with tadka.

Take kadai, add oil to it, let it heat , then add chopped green chillies, ginger, garlic, and onions and saute it till golden brown, then add tomatoes to it saute again and add the spices... red chilli powder and dhaniya powder. we will not add salt any more as we have already added salt while boiling our palak sarson saag .

let it get cooked for sometime, and then very slowly add the palak paste ,be very carefully while pouring. add some water too and let it cook for over 20 mins, in low flame. Keep stiring in between and when you find that the saag is leaving the oil and kadai and has got thicken means your saag is ready. serve it hot with makai ki roti or plain wheat flour if makai ki roti isnt available 

NOTE : we punjabis usually use ghee to prepare this dish but nowadays people are too much health conscious so in that case you can use refined oil.

MAKAI KI ROTI 

ingredients :

makai ka aata 

lukewarm water

oil to knead

i usually purchase ganesh 's makai aata. i find the quality very good and trust worthy.

Take some lukewarm water to knead the aata, as lukewarm water binds the aata very well. later at the end add oil to it and knead it properly.  you can also add grated muli or methi to the aata it tastes very nice.

makai aata is very soft so it breaks very easily when you try to roll from your rolling pin (belan) so an easy way to roll yr roti , roll your roti on a plastic. wet the plastic a bit, roll over it and then the roti comes out easily from the plastic and you can place it on tawa, cook on both sides adding little oil and your makai ki roti is ready to be served !
