Whenever I am craving Indian food, a golden saag always appears in my mind's eye. This aloo saag recipe features popping mustard and cumin seeds sizzling alongside soft, sweet potatoes or cauliflower, adorned with wilted collard greens. Saag dishes are most commonly eaten in the Indian subcontinent in Nepal, Odisha, and West Bengal. It's traditionally served with a maize flour roti, fluffy naan, or chapati in the Punjab region, where it's most commonly eaten.
