- Red chili powder to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Prepare the Greens:
Wash the mustard greens, spinach, and bathua thoroughly under running water to remove dirt. Chop them roughly and blanch in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Blend the Greens:
Use a mixer grinder, like the Wipro Elato 1000W Mixer Grinder, to blend the blanched greens into a smooth paste. The Deep Flow Breaker (DFB) technology ensures smooth and efficient blending in no time.
-
Cook the Saag:
Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a deep pan. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Next, add garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
-
Add Tomatoes and Greens:
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft and mushy. Stir in the blended greens and cook on low flame for about 15-20 minutes.
-
Thicken the Saag:
Mix maize flour with a little water to make a slurry. Add this to the saag to thicken the consistency. Season with salt, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for another 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
How to Make Makki Ki Roti:
Discover how to make Makki Ki Roti perfectly soft and golden with this simple step-by-step guide.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups maize flour (Makki ka atta)
- Warm water for kneading
- Salt to taste
- Ghee or butter for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Knead the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine maize flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft dough. The dough should not be too sticky or too dry.
-
Shape the Rotis:
Take a small portion of the dough, roll it into a ball, and flatten it between your palms. Place it on a butter paper or clean surface and gently press or roll it into a circular shape. Since maize flour lacks gluten, it’s slightly tricky to roll, so be patient.
-
Cook the Roti:
Heat a tawa (griddle) and cook the roti on medium heat. Flip it after 2-3 minutes and cook until both sides are golden brown. Add ghee or butter for flavour and crispness.
-
Serve Hot:
Pair the roti with a generous dollop of butter and a hot bowl of sarson ka saag for a traditional Punjabi experience.
