Tips & Secrets

  • The secret to a great saag is using raw mustard oil; it provides that authentic sharp Northeast aroma.
  • Always add the salt at the very end to prevent the greens from releasing too much moisture too early.
  • Do not over-cook the greens; they should retain their vibrant color and texture.
