SARSON KA SAG ,MAKKE KI ROTI (PUNJAB SPECIAL)

HAPPY LOHRI TO ALL

GOLDEN TEMPLE

FLAVOUR OF PUNJAB
Mention Punjab and the first image that comes to mind is  GOLDEN TEMPLE&that of lush green fields. Mention Punjabi food and the first thing that comes to mind is makke ki roti and sarson ka saag. Punjabi cuisine is like the Punjabis themselves. It is simple, sizeable and hearty - with no unnecessary frills.

. Besides the long preparation time, these vitamin rich dishes also require a lot of time to cook. Almost all the preparations are cooked on a slow fire to coax out that perfectly robust taste. Sarson ka saag is cooked on a slow fire for hours with a minimum of spices so that the fresh taste can be retained. In fact, the longer it takes to cook the saag, the better it tastes.

IMPORTANCE OF SARSO DA SAG AND MAKKIDI ROTI

The festival of Lohri was celebrated on 13th Jan. The Festival of Lohri marks the beginning of the end of winter and the coming of spring and the new year

In the evening, with the setting of the sun, huge bonfires are lit in the harvested fields and in the front yards of houses and people gather around the rising flames, circle around (parikrama) the bonfire and throw puffed rice, popcorn and other munchies into the fire, shouting "Aadar aye dilather jaye" (May honor come and poverty vanish!), and sing popular folk songs.


The traditional Lohri food Sarson da Saag and Makki di Roti is specially cooked for the main course on this day along with sweets and other delicacies. I learnt this mouthwatering duo -the Punjabi way from my aunt. for dinner coz it tastes better if the Roti and Saag are both piping hot.
