Makki ki roti Sarso da saag is a classic Panjabi dish. It is served during special occasions like baisakhi and also in winter. Makki means maize and sarso da saag means Mustard leaves. This dish is really very yummy and lip smacking along with a dollop of butter. And accompanied with a glass of Punjabi sweet Lassi elevates the dish.
