The Heart of North Indian Winter

Sarson ka Saag is winter in a bowl. Rich, green, creamy, and full of flavour. It is the pride of Punjabi kitchens and a dish that immediately brings to mind cold evenings and warm gatherings.

For Indian expats in Europe, this dish is pure nostalgia. The aroma of mustard leaves cooked slowly with ginger, garlic, and green chillies feels like being back home in December.

Why Saag is a Winter Favourite

Mustard greens reach peak flavour in winter. When cooked slowly, blended with spinach or other greens, and topped with a spoon of ghee, the result is an unforgettable seasonal dish that pairs perfectly with makki roti.
