KULER SAAG

Ingredients :
Kuler saag - 500 gms
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - ½ tsp
Dried red chilli - 1-2
Onion (chopped) - ½
Salt - as per taste
Milk - ¼ cup

Method :
Clean the saag and chop it finely. Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds. When they start sizzling, add the dried red chilli and sauté for a second. Add onion and sauté till they turn light pink. Now add the saag and cook. When it is half done add salt to it. When the saag is cooked properly, add milk and cook again till the milk evaporates. Take it off fire and serve during lunch.

PN : Saag when cooked reduces a lot, so it’s better to add salt when it’s half done. Otherwise there is a chance of the saag becoming salty.
