Sarson Ka Saag(Broccoli rabe)

 Sarson ka Saag with Makai ki Roti on a cold day would warm you up instantly. I found fresh mustard greens or Broccoli Rabe(sarson) in the Indian store yesterday. I decided to make it  for dinner today. I cooked the greens in the slow cooker. A friend of mine told me that it has to be cooked for hours on low heat.  My kids were not a big fan of it, but my husband loved it.

Ingredients:
1 bunch mustard greens, chopped
1 bunch spinach, chopped
3 green chili(more if you want it spicy)
salt to taste
1 T oil
1 T grated garlic
1 T grated ginger
1 large onion, chopped
1 t cumin powder
1 t coriander powder
1/4 t turmeric powder
1/2 t chili powder
1 t amchur powder(dried mango powder)
11/2 t garam masala
1 t corn flour

                                                         

Method:
1. Cook the greens with chili and salt with enough water in a slow cooker, or boil in a pressure cooker, without the lid. 

2. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the garlic, ginger, and onion till they are cooked. Add the spices and cook for 2 minutes.

                                                             

3. Transfer the onion mixture to the greens. Slow cook for 3 hours. I used the slow cook mode in Instant Pot for 5 hours. The taste was incredible!

                                                               

 Blend the greens in the cooker using an emulsifying blender. Stir in the corn flour if the saag is thin.

                                                               

 

Serve warm with hot makai ki roti(corn meal flatbread).
