[MrKdaujla]

hey , don't misguide to people ,you should learn first how tomake sag .Don't try to play with punjabi traditional recipes . thank u very much.

[IRKhawaja]

I have no idea what you cooked on this video but one thing is for sure this is NOT Sarsoun ka Saag. Please do some research and do not insult this very very authentic punjabi dish. I love sarsoun ka saag which my grandmother used to make. What you cooked is a regular everyday vegitable dish. Please don't misguide viewers.

[THEICEMANFUL]

Hey anuja and hetal,I love the recipe.Thanks for up loading. And by the way NEELU if u met 10 punjabi people,u will find 10 different recipe of saag of their family,i dun understand why are u feeling insult to panjabis??

[jeet027]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa You ladies what you know about Mustard leafs and Punjabi Food Please stay in Punjab couple of Months then come back to the You tube Don’t make people fool here Rightttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[neelamvs]

I really love your recipes..but unfortunately very disappointed.....gals this is not the way how sarson ka saag is prepared.Better luck next time ....i think u should redo this video.

[sweetfeat1]

wooooooow, I gaurentee that dish came out saltier than a salt lick, you dumped like a tablespoon of salt into that TWICE.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@sweetfeat1 : Actually, it was not :) and like we always mention - "Salt - to taste "

Peace :)

[RukhShariq]

@ShowMeTheCurry

I love you guyss.

[RukhShariq]

@sweetfeat1

Just that you know Indian likes salt alot :)

My best friend is an indian and aw I love her cooking but definitely my blood pressure goes reallly high :).

[axisgraf]

Two beautiful ladies and an excellent recipe!

[dumadum1234]

hi anuja and hetal..........appreciate ur video but being a punjabi girl.........few things want to mention, the stems u hav thrown are the most vital part in punjabi saag.....u hv to scrap them and use the inner soft part.........than chop them v finely and no need to add water just cook the leaves for atleast one hour adding spinach and ginger , garlic and green chillies. than grind it and if its watery add one sppon of makki atta.........and than made a tadka according 2 ur taste

[mantript]

hi ladies..i am punjabi and i have seen your lots of video and they are awesome ,but sorry to say that this is not the authentc sarsoon ka saag. If you have ever been to any village in punjab and have seen how saag is made you would have know how its made...to make it in a traditional punjabi way like my mom and granny make it take about good half a day and you make it on chullah not no gas..

[xodradek]

I'm in love-- and not just with the Sarson Ka Saag.

[tsalyuge]

Great recipe! After adding the garam masala and the rest of the spices, I also added about 1/4 cup of heavy cream (this idea occurred to me after cooking Chicken Tikka Masala, where heavy cream is a must) and the flavor became absolutely fantastic! Thank you! =)

[virdhillon1]

u guys are insulting Punjabi saag!! Pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mscnpd]

hii........ please tell me from where do u find these leaves.......... since i'm in USA now from last 1 year, I do not find them anywhere...... neither Indian store nor other delis....... I'm a punjabi nd I'm really missing my "sarson ka saag" :( please tell me as soon as possible, so that I can buy it nd cook it!! thanks

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mscnpd

We found them at Kroger...our local grocery store.

[sweetythebest]

@mscnpd you get it even in walmart. Chopped and packed in plastic bag

[RashnUniverse]

@mscnpd, hi check the Walmart- vegetables side. i got mustard leaves from there last week. Even Indian stores, house of spice ...also bring those leaves now and then...you need to chcek for these leaves in this season..means in winters!!

[paco4638]

@TheOnlyMuffydarling

[TheOnlyMuffydarling]

Hello Ladies :)

Thank You for all Your recipes...as for the stalks, You can either Juice them or make a GREAT Thin-sliced Pickle. Thought I'd Let You Know....

Huge Huggz and Keep Up The Great Work!!!! :)

[bundchatni]

You women need to get reborn on earth and learn the meaning of SAAG. Saag is made by chopping up mustard leaves ( including the stalk ) then letting them boil in water for a few hours till they turn into a creamy mixture ( paste like ). Slowly add corn flour while stirring till it becomes a little thicker. Add salt to your liking,. Thats it - Delicious. What the hell are you women trying to make . My mum laughed so hard that she had tears in her eyes.

[M52envy]

saag my ass..hahah...this must be the way non punjabis cook saag..lol..

[trigidentity1]

lol saag fail.

doesn't look anything like mom makes

[engineerjatt]

Guys...This is not saag. This is just cooked spinach/mustard leaves. Generally(what my grandma/mom and other grandmas and moms make in Punjab), it is takes 4-5 hours to make saag and recipe is much different - but all that is worth the taste. Here is US, my mom spends a day cooking a lot of it and we freeze it and enjoy it over a month or so. And by the way - no tomatoes in saag....

[RiyaPreet]

May I please ask you from which part of punjab you are ???

[RiyaPreet]

I'm so so so disappointed to see such a bad cooking of saag. It is not at all the recipe of saag. And no tomatoes goes in there. After watching this recipe i'm confused if i should follow your other recipes or not !!! It's really such an insult of saag. I loooooooooove saag, par aap ne ye bechare saag ka kya bana diya. Sach mein bahut dukh ho raha hai.

[aurayon]

I think it looks delicious! The leaves are still bright green, which is more nutritious than leaves that have been cooking for 5 hours.

[bbnanno]

This is a very bad version of saag. Although every family may have a different recipe, there are some fundamentals, and this version is nowhere near them.

1) Saag should be very very finely chopped Before cooking. Don't discard the softer stems (dandlaN)

2) After it has cooked, makki da atta (maiza flour) is added a little at a time, and it has to be continuously mashed into the saag-spinach mix until it is cooked. That is why the punjabi expression "saag ghotna"! If not, it is not saag.

[bbnanno]

3) Tomatoes in saag? Please!

4) Only tarka is put in afterwards, no cooking with masalas, no garlic or it would be just everyday palak.

I could go on with many more details, but you get the idea of how wrong they have made this dish.

It might be tasty but it is NOT saag.

I have followed some of their other recipes, whcih are good, am so disappointed they did not bother to get a proper recipe for saag.

[swati9indian]

@bbnanno Madam, then why dont please upload a video of the authetic sarson ka saag from punjabi, as u seem to have more knowledge of cooking. We would love it if u can even make a Powerpoint Presentation of still images and upload it. Thank you.

[bbnanno]

@swati9indian Unfortunately I don't live in a country where saag is available! But I have already given the outlines above. Remember to add Bathu leaves (about 1 bunch for a kg of saag). It has to very finely chopped, boiled until soft- takes a long time- then makki atta is added slowly while mashing with vigour and making sure it gets "cooked", about 1/2 hr. For serving a simple tarka of hing, onions, chillies is added at the end. Definitely no tomato! Served with dollop of while butter on top

[bebovirgo]

Chef I would like to incorporate greens in my diet.....is there a way to cook collard greens, kale, arugula,turnip greens etc the indian way ?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@bebovirgo : We always add the green vegetables ( that are in season) into daals or make saag out of them. Few other ways are to make parathas with them or make pulaos....the possibilities are endless. use your kitchen as a science lab and experiment :)

[TooLooseLeTrek]

Yummy yum yum. The greens are cooking on the stove as I write.

Punjab here I come!

[rourou95822]

this is not saag but greens in a grinder recipe :P gujrati version of saag? atleast don't call it a saag my dear

[neelu06]

ladies ladies ladies.... that is not saag.

being a punjabi and watching this video was an insult to our punjabi cuisine.

for beginners.. the stems are considered a vital part of saag. the trick is to pick soft stems.

so please go try some real saag and then redo this video.

also.. saag CAN'T be cooked in 10 minutes. it is a process that takes 4-5 hours.... ask any punjabi aunty.

better luck next time...but ouchhhhhh

[Darshanjit]

desi blondes!

[mizzishukaur]

@neelu06 ur so right im a punjabi too this is wrong sorry ladies i love all of your videos but this is insulting

[THEICEMANFUL]

@neelu06 And by the way NEELU if u met 10 punjabi people,u will find 10 different recipe of saag of their family,i dun understand why are u feeling insult to panjabis??This is not the decent way to comment harshly.

[MsJinnyb]

@neelu06 hey there, i would love for you to upload your authentic recipe for saag ..... really look foreward to seeing your version

[ambarsariye1]

i appreciate ur effort chef.....but thiz iz not even close to the real recipe,real look.It iz very different from real sarson ka saag,the color iz juzz not right.But being a non-punjabi,itz a good effort but itz far away from real recipe,real look and real taste.

The real punjabi saag is too different man,it takes about 4-5 houRS to cook.

[kapsanras]

its ok, but ballu29 has the recipe for saag that is the as close to the real saag from punjab than any other recipe on youtube.

[kapsanras]

this is ok, not really authentic saag from Punjab..but ballu29 has the best authentic recipe, or the one that comes really close to the saag you get in punjab... ballu29

[nefandix]

Paprika e Curry.

[yankeedoodle477]

intially i used to think your recipes are americanized...however, lately ive released that ur recipes are truely indian and healthy! gr8 job!

[natashurrrrr]

In my family we actually prefer to use the stalks instead of the leaves, we find the stalks to be sweeter than the leaves. We chop everything finely so its not fibrous, we also add cabbage along with spinach, and then blend everything with a hand mixer at the end. Like you said, every family is different.

[leonyx86]

You guys are so much more comfortable on the camera now compared to in the beginning, and not to mention, a lot cuter too! Thanks for your hard work <3

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@leonyx86

Thank you!

[HOUSESOS]

I'm glad you showed pict sweet frozen veg brand. They really are the only replacement for fresh as long as your grocery has really good frozen veg turnover. If the mustard stems are smaller we separate and pressure cook them as a side dish. The large stems should be dumped in your compost heap-that way you never feel guilty.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@HOUSESOS

Great tip! Thanks.

[emberupneet]

hi hetal n anuja

i like all of ur videos

but sorry being a sikh girl i say

dis is not a recipe of saag

it some another recipe but can't be called saag

sorry.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@emberupneet

No need to be sorry. Like we said, every family has their own recipe for Saag and we're sure that each one is equally delicious. This is our family recipe. Plus, saag is a general term used for mixed greens (not how it is prepared).

[kapsanras]

@emberupneet try ballu29 ...he's pretty good....:)

[kapsanras]

@emberupneet

Try ballu29 its pretty close to the real thing....very well presented aswell

[Amreet86]

@emberupneet I agree my mom takes about 2-4 hours(depending on quantity) to make saag if it was this easy then i'd be making it too this is their way but it doesn't serve justice to the famous "saron da saag" .....anyways ....it's all gud! ....peace.

[anjalikadiyan]

@Amreet86 i no yaar........ diz iz not saaag........... in my family only my mom and my dadi could make saag and makki ki roti...... itz hard to make makki ki roti and saag......

[faithinthedesert]

Yummy, looks so delicious!

Anuja, you look stunning today! I noticed your extra pizazz in today's vid!!

[neil2090]

hey girls

when are you going to put up the recipe for the roti to go with this recipe

[ironbuttermilk]

Looks great!

BTW, this video gets the award for Sexiest Hair, for both ladies.

[ilikethewok]

Very appetizing and flavorful!! Thx for this post.

[RVVBabay]

Где же мне взять эти листья в Сибири ?

[swissnina]

Why do u use "go ahead" and do this". Go ahead?

[TheVittleVlog]

Great vid, super looking food!

[ollerpops]

I love you guys! I am not indian- just a big fan of your food and culture and you two

[Daimond222]

[nworb]

That is definitely not the saag I have grown up eating. :S But god knows maybe this is tasty too.

[ikylejm]

do you use ghee or just regular butter?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@ikylejm

We used butter, but you can use ghee as well.

[ravishethwala]

I seriously do miss my home!

[UrCanadianSister]

[ikylejm]

[robin123robin]

@ikylejm HI, HOW DID YOU GROW YOUR MUSTARD LEAVES, DID YOU USE THE BLACK MUSTARD SEEDS...THANKS

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@robin123robin

We did not grow them ourselves...we picked them up from our local farmer's market.

[zfair3850]

@robin123robin grow? come on...

[robin123robin]

@zfair3850

Hi, haha couldn`t stop laughin at your comment. fair enough. the comment was actually meant to someone else,, who grew theire own leaves, but it went a bit wrong. so now everybody thinks that i thought, that theese ladies grow theire own veggies... hahah funny. so now you know that... : )

[ikylejm]

@robin123robin i grew them from a seed packet from a nursery and they were black, i would be interested if the black mustard seed grows well that you get from the market!
