Make this saag gosht in the winters as a perfect dish of mutton. Variety of fresh and crisp greens stalked in huge piles at the local vegetable vendors makes it very difficult to ignore them and why to when they are healthy and delicious to eat as well.
During a recent trip to the whole sale vegetable market, I got loads of Spinach, Mustard, Fenugreek, Coriander and Radish greens. Some of it went into the Sarson Ka Saag that we enjoyed with hot Makki Ki Roti and the remaining was made into this super awesome Saag Gosht.
