1. Dealing With The Bitterness

Mustard greens have a naturally sharp flavour, which can make the saag taste bitter. To balance it out, add a generous amount of spinach.

2. Keeping The Colour Intact

Leafy greens release volatile acids, which can dull the colour if trapped. Blanch the greens and cook the saag uncovered to keep it vibrant.

3. Avoiding A Watery Texture

Saag should be thick and smooth, but it often turns out watery. A simple fix is to add some maize flour to get the right consistency.

4. Preventing Excess Salt

Too much salt can ruin the dish. The best way to avoid this is by adding unsalted butter, which helps balance the flavours.
