Sarson Ka Saag:
- Wash the mustard greens, spinach, and fenugreek leaves thoroughly. Chop them finely.

- Once the greens are cooked, blend them to a coarse paste using a hand blender or in a mixer.
- Heat ghee or butter in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add chopped onions and sauté until they become golden brown.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté for a minute.
- Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts separating.
- Add red chili powder and sauté for another minute.
- Now, add the blended greens mixture and maize flour (makki ka atta).
- Cook on a low flame, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Cook until the mixture thickens and ghee starts separating from the saag.
- Adjust salt and spice according to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine maize flour, salt, and water to make a smooth, soft dough.
- Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it with your palms.
- Roll out each flattened ball into a round roti using a rolling pin. Use dry maize flour for dusting while rolling.
- Heat a tawa or griddle and cook the rolled roti on both sides until golden brown spots appear.
- Apply ghee on both sides while cooking to make it soft and flavorful
