Trivia Tadka

Did you know that the main ingredient in Kashmiri saag, i.e., karam haak is only available in the Valley? Kashmiris combine a variety of green vegetables to make Kashmiri saag but karam haak is a must-include ingredient.

Ingredients

  • Spinach (palak), finely chopped (1 bunch)
  • Collard green (karam haak), finely chopped (1 bunch)
  • Mustard leaves (sarson), finely chopped (1 bunch)
  • Garlic (lehsun) cloves (10–12)
  • Mustard (sarson) oil (2 tbsp)
  • Kashmiri dry red chili (lal mirch) (2–3)
  • Asafoetida (hing) (1 tsp)
  • Cumin seeds (jeera) (1 tsp)
  • Fennel powder (saunth) (1 tsp)
  • Salt ( to taste)
  • MTR Lal Mirch/Red Chilli Powder (½ tsp)
  • Water (1 cup)

Method

  • Wash the green leafy vegetables, discard the stems and chop the leaves finely.
  • In a heavy-bottom kadhai, heat oil till it reaches the smoking point over medium heat.
  • Add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle, then add whole garlic cloves and fry till golden brown. Next, add dried whole red chillies and fry for another 10–20 secs.
  • Now very carefully, add 1 cup of water (caution is needed as adding water will splatter the oil). Immediately cover the pan with a lid. Bring the water to boil and simmer for 5–10 mins.
  • Add chopped green vegetables, spices and salt. Stir to combine and simmer for another 8–10 mins.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked through and the water has almost dried up, turn off the heat.
  • The wholesome and piping hot Kashmiri saag can now be served with a side dish and chapatti or rice.
