Method
- Cut the stems of the greens. Wash the greens well.
- The best way to wash them for me is to fill my kitchen basin with water and then put the greens in it.
- Clean it well and most often you would find a residue of mud on the surface of the basin.
- Chop them coarsely and place them in a steamer. You can alternatively boil the greens if you wish.
- Blend the greens into a puree along with the green chillies.
- You can do it coarse or smooth as per your taste.
- Now in a skillet, saute the grated onions, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste and coriander-cumin powder (if using) in Ghee (or oil).
- Add the crumbled paneer and cook for 5 minutes until paneer is soft.
- Add the greens puree.
- Stir the mixture until everything comes together and the it comes to a boil.
- You can thicken the mixture if watery with Makai Ka atta (Maize flour/corn flour) for that authentic touch, followed while making Sarson Ka sag.
- Or else a little cornstarch should do it too.
- If too thick, add little water to get your desired consistency.
- Add salt. You can also add lemon juice.
