- In a large pot, add these greens along with the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and ginger. Add some water, cover the pot, and allow it to simmer on medium heat. Let it cook until the greens become soft and tender.

- While the greens are cooking, prepare a smooth paste using maize flour and water. Ensure there are no lumps in the paste.

- In a separate pan, heat ghee or clarified butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until it turns golden brown. Now, add the maize flour paste to the pan and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the paste until it emits a pleasant aroma and turns golden.

- Transfer this mixture to the simmering greens and stir well to combine. Season the dish with salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Stir thoroughly.

- Continue to cook the saag on low heat, occasionally mashing it with a "madani" (traditional Punjabi utensil) or a potato masher. The saag should have a creamy and thick consistency. Once the saag reaches the desired consistency, let it simmer for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

- Sarson Da Saag is ready to be served. Traditionally, it is garnished with a dollop of ghee and served with Makki di Roti (cornflat bread) or steamed rice.
