As such, cricketer Suresh Raina recently took to Instagram to share a reel of him making one such winter specialty — the absolutely delicious ‘sarson ka saag’! He aptly captioned his video, ”Season of #sarsonkasaag is here! #reels #family”.
Sarson ka saag is traditionally made with leafy greens such as mustard leaves, spinach leaves and also bathua, that are fortified with essential minerals and vitamins like vitamin A, iron and fiber. It is traditionally eaten with makki ki roti, or flatbread made from cornflour which is a thicker version of a roti.
