Saag

Saag (Hindi: साग; Punjabi: ਸਾਗ; Nepali: साग; Oriya: ଶାଗ) or sag is a Leaf-based (spinach, mustard leaf, Basella, etc) dish eaten in South Asia with bread such as roti or naan, or rice (in Orissa and West Bengal). Saag can be made from spinach, mustard leaves, finely chopped broccoli, or other greens, along with added spices and sometimes other ingredients such as paneer. On some menus, it is called saagwala.

Saag is more common in Haryana, Uttar pradesh, Punjab, especially Sarsoon ka saag, where it may be eaten with makki ki roti. This roti is made of corn flour and is yellow in colour, though it can also be eaten with other breads. Saag/sag however can be a catch-all term for various green-leaved dishes. Saag aloo is a common dish in Pakistani/Indian cuisine as served in restaurants and take-aways in the Western world.
