Sarson da saag, also known as Sarsa da saag is a dish of mustard greens cooked with spices. It originated in the north of the Indian subcontinent and is popular throughout the region.[2][3][4][5][6]
The dish is known as sarson ka saag (सरसों का साग) in Hindi, sarson da saag (ਸਰ੍ਹੋਂ ਦਾ ਸਾਗ/سرھوں دا ساگ) or Sareyan da saag (ਸਾਰਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਸਾਗ/ثریا دا صاف) in Punjabi,[7][4][8] sarsav nu shaakinGujarati,[9]and sariso saaginMaithili.[10]
Sarson, sarhon, sareyan, etc. derive from the Sanskrit word sarśapa (Sanskrit: सर्षप) meaning mustard.[11] Saag/shaak derives from the Sanskrit Śāka meaning greens or vegetable leaves.[12]
Mustard is widely grown in the region for the plant's leaves, seeds and seed oil. It is harvested in winter and spring, making sarson ka saag a popular warming dish in the cooler months.[13][14][15]
There are many recipes for the dish, usually cooking the leaves in oil or clarified butter (ghee)[16] with spices such as garlic, ginger and chilli. Other spices used vary according to region and taste.
The dish is often served with bread such as makki ki rotiorbajra ki roti.[17]

No meal within the Maithil community is considered complete without the inclusion of leafy dishes known as saag. Our cuisine is an ode to saag: bathua, laal saag, patua saag, genhari, karmi, sariso saag.
Mustard is cultivated extensively in north India.
In the winter months in Punjab, a richly spiced puree of mustard greens is eaten, accompanied with roti made of ground maize and a knob of fresh, soft, crumbly gur. The classic combination is called sarson ka saag and makki ki roti. Mustard has been grown in Punjab for millennia and its oil-rich seed is an important commercial crop.
