Saag marswala

Red saag sabzi recipe:

For those who do not know what to do with red saag, here's a new recipe I have tried. In bonus, there's a red saag sharbat also comes free!!

Ingredients:
Green chilies-3-4
Red dry chillies-2
Ginger
Coriander
Pepper corns
Tamarind
Red saag
Fresh cream

Take out the leaves of saag, wash and dry them, chop them coarsely.

Soak tamarind in water.

In a vessel, boil water and boil red saag in the water for about 5 mins till it's tender and leaves an aroma.

Filter the red saag and don't throw the red water.

Grind boiled red saag, coriander leaves, ginger, paper corns together in a grinder.

(I haven't used onion and garlic here. If you want, you can grind raw onion and garlic separately, to be added in the tadka later on)

In a pan, take little oil, put mustard, cumin seeds, curry leaves and red chillies. If you want, you can put either chana daal a little or pre soaked toor dal (just a little). Add urad daal to tadka. Add asafoetida and turmeric, saute for a minute. Add a little coriander powder.

Add boiled red saag, a little, very little garam masala, salt to taste and mix. Cook for 2 mins and add tamarind water. Cook for another 2 mins, adding some water.

Finally add fresh cream a little.

Great smelling red saag sabzi is ready!

I call it Saag marswala. :P

By the way, the red water that you had kept aside, boil it again with dry 2-3 kokam fruits and adding sugar to it. Put some cardamom if you want. Boil for 3-4 mins and allow it to cool. Keep in the refrigerator for an hour or so. Healthy and yummy red saag sharbat is ready!

Aam ke aam, gutliyonke bhi daam!
