Sarson ka Saag / Makki ki Roti

Following my earlier post on" How to clean saag" here comes another post in " Mom's Special" series, Saag & makki

ki roti which is a very famous North Indian main course. Accompanied with some home made butter & buttermilk -it

happens to be one of my most fav's . So without further ado let's get on to the recipe.

Ingredients for Saag:

1-2 bunches of saag/ broccoli rabe

1 tomato

1" piece of ginger

2-3 green chillies

salt & turmeric powder2 tablespoons of makki ka atta ( yellow corn flour) or besan( gramflour)

1/2 cup water

For the tempering :

2 tablespoons of oil

2/5

7-8 green chillies

5-6 garlic pods finely chopped

2-3 whole red chill ies

1 tsp methi seeds

pinch of hing / asafoetida powder

2 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp garam masala

Preparation:

Transfer the chopped & washed saag to a pressure cooker. Add a tomato, 1" piece of ginger, 2-3 green chillies , salt &

turmeric powder & give it upto 2 pressures. Let it cool , then give it a quick pulse in the blender / make sure not to pulse

it to a paste, should be a litt le coarse. Transfer it back to the pressure cooker or another deep dish , dilute 2

tablespoons of makki ka atta or besan in 1/2 cup of water & add to the saag mix. This really helps in making the saag

oooeey goooey & also takes away the sourness of the saag . Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the flame & let it

simmer on low heat for about 1/2 an hour.Keep stirring in between & be very careful while stirring as the mixture tends to splutter a lot. I generally cover the dish

with a lid while the saag is simmering & then just open to stir & cover again.

Meanwhile prepare the tempering : heat oil in a pan & add the methi seeds & red chillies- let them brown. Now

add onions, ginger, garlic & green chillies & saute everything until the onions are perfectly brown, add hing & coriander

powder & stir, now add tomatoes & stir till the tomatoes are perfectly cooked, add garam masala & add this temper to

the simmering saag. Let the saag simmer for another 10 mins & it is ready to eat. Serve topped with desi ghee( clarified

butter ) or home made fresh butter accompanied by makki ki roti.

For the Makki ki Roti:

2 cups of yellow corn flour ( will make about 8 roti's)

Lukewarm water as required for kneading the dough

Oil for frying

Transfer corn flour to a wide dish ( I generally use the steel parat for kneading the dough)

Start adding water & knead the dough. In the beginning it seems to be very crumbly but adding water & kneading it

continuously wil l make it very soft & pliable. I genrally knead it in batches & each batch for atleast 5-6 minutes ( just

like bread dough) & the dough becomes very soft & easy to handle. Pinch tangerine size balls from the dough, sprinkle

some corn flour on the rolling board , place the ball of dough on it & start rolling it with your hands in clockwise motion. I

know it takes some practice but this is the only way I have learnt to make it from my mom. Transfer the rolled roti to a

hot tawa or skillet & fry from both sides . I generally fry them just like we would do for parathas. Yummy roti is ready ,

enjoy with saag & don't forget to have it some jaggery & desi ghee as well.

Enjoy..........
