Any Lohri feast is incomplete without the classic sarso ka saag served with makai ki roti. Sarson da saag is prepared from mustard leaves cooked in various spices and is served with makai di roti, or cornflour flatbread, and some jaggery. I have made the saag only and we all enjoyed with the homemade fulkas this festive season for dinner.
