Sarson Ka Saag with Paneer/Tofu

This is one of my favorite Punjabi dish and my first choice to go with Tandoori roti, even though Makki ki roti is its true companion. I love the color and taste. To make it kids friendly, add Paneer or Tofu. 

Ingredients:  

• 2 bunches Sarson ka saag  (green mustard)
• 1 bunch Spinach
• 1 medium size Onion
• One large size Tomato
• 2 tbp ginger garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 3 tbp makki ka atta (maize flour)
• 3 tbp ghee
• 3 green chillies
• Paneer/Tofu cubes 

Preparation:   

Wash and clean the greens, chop them, add 2/3 green chillies and boil in 2 cups of  water until cooked. Please don't pressure cook the green vegetables.

In the mean time, shallow fry Paneer/Tofu cubes in oil and keep them aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add onions, ginger garlic paste and fry for sometime. Then add tomatoes and fry until tomato pieces become soft. Add makki ki atta and stir for some more time. You can also add paste (makki ki atta and water) instead of powder directly.

Note: You can skip Tomatoes, but I don't mind throwing some antioxidants. If you are worried about Kidney stones with Tomato and Spinach combination, do skip tomatoes.

Grind the green vegetables and make a rough paste. Make sure not to over paste the greens. Add the paste to pan and stir fry. Add chilli powder, garam masala, salt and fried Paneer/Tofu at the end. Add butter or ghee and serve with Rotis.
