How to Use Mustard Leaves

The classic preparation is Sarson Ka Saag — slow-cooked mustard leaves with spinach, ginger, garlic, and a generous dollop of white butter or ghee, served with makki di roti. Mustard leaves can also be sautéed with garlic and chilli, added to lentil soups, or used in stir-fries and stews. Blanching briefly before cooking reduces bitterness.
