Sarson Ka Saag(Broccoli rabi)

 Sarson ka Saag with Makai ki Roti on a cold day would warm you up instantly.I found fresh mustard greens(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 aamchur 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 saute 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. 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 roti).
