#sarsosaagrecipe #This dish is very popular in Punjab. It’s a gravy-like curry that is made from mustard leaves; basically, it’s palak paneer without the paneer and in place of spinach, mustard leaves are used. I really like the thick texture. Try this out, it tastes amazing#recipeon👇🏾 Serves 6 to 8 Ingredients 2 bunches of mustard leaves 1 bunch of spinach 5-6 green chillies - finely chopped 2 tbsp ginger - finely chopped 2 tbsp dry fenugreek/methi leaves 2 tbsp corn flour Oil or butter or both (to your taste) Salt to taste 2 tsp red chilly powder 2 tsp coriander powder Method First, wash the mustard and spinach leaves and put them in the cooker along with the green chilly, ginger, and salt. Now, add 2 cups of water in the cooker and wait until you hear 4 to 5 whistles. Then, leave the cooker to cool for about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the water from the cooker and set it aside. Take a whisk and make a paste out of what’s left; it shouldn’t be fine, so I would suggest using a food processor if you have one rather than a whisk. Now, add the water back to the paste. Put the pan on the stove at moderate heat. Add the red chilly powder and coriander powder. Stir, then add corn flour. Make a paste out of the flour and water, and then add it to the mixture; otherwise, there will be lumps of flour. Heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or more if necessary. Finally, add dry fenugreek leaves and butter. Serve with makki ki roti or naan!

This recipe is great to make if you have leftover dal chawal or #kichri This is for slightly spicy parathas, but you can change the amounts as you like#kichriparatha#recipe#paratha#indianbread recipe#mudita’skitchen#recipeonbelow👇 Ingredients 1 cup khichdi or daal chawal (rice and toor dal) 2 cups whole wheat flour 2 tsp red chilli powder or to taste 1 tsp salt 1 green chilli - finely chopped 1/2 cup oil Method Take everything except for the oil and mix it to make a dough. Take the dough and divide it into equal sized pieces that are a little bigger than a golf ball. Take a flat pan and put on the gas at slow heat. After that, take one piece of dough and press it between your hands or use a rolling pin to make a flat disc with a diameter of 4 inches. Spread ¼ tsp of oil on it. Then, pick up the sides of the piece of dough and pull them together at the top. Then, roll out the dough to the size of a medium tortilla, or with a diameter of around 6-7 inches. Now, take the flat pan and start it at medium heat. A paratha is cooked in a similar way to a tortilla. Spread ½ tsp of oil on the pan, and then put the paratha in the pan. Cook the paratha so that it is golden brown on both sides. Your paratha is ready! Serve with pickle and tea.
