Poi Saga Besara

Poi Saga Besara" is a traditional Odia dish featuring Malabar spinach (poi saga) cooked in a mustard-based sauce. To prepare, mustard seeds are ground with green chilies, garlic, and ginger to form a paste. The paste is then sautéed with Pancha Phutana (five-spice blend) for aroma before adding turmeric and chopped spinach. The dish is simmered until the spinach is tender, resulting in a flavorful and nutritious accompaniment to rice or roti, characteristic of Odia cuisine.

Ingredients:

250 grams Malabar spinach (poi saga), washed and chopped

2 tablespoons mustard seeds

2-3 green chilies, chopped

2-3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tablespoon grated ginger

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 tablespoon mustard oil or any cooking oil of your choice

Salt to taste

Water as needed

1 teaspoon Pancha Phutana (five-spice blend) - typically includes equal parts of fenugreek seeds, nigella seeds, cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, and fennel seeds

Instructions:

Soak mustard seeds in water for about 30 minutes to soften them.

Drain the mustard seeds and grind them along with green chilies, garlic cloves, and grated ginger to make a smooth paste. You can add a little water if needed to facilitate grinding.

Heat mustard oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Pancha Phutana (five-spice blend) and let it crackle for a few seconds.

Add Green Chilis if want extra spices in saag.

Add the ground mustard paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell of mustard disappears.

Add turmeric powder and stir well to combine with the mustard paste.

Add the chopped Malabar spinach (poi saga) to the pan and mix well with the mustard paste.

Season with salt according to your taste preferences.

Cover the pan and let the spinach cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes too dry, you can add a little water to adjust the consistency.

Once the Malabar spinach is cooked and tender, remove the pan from heat.

Serve Poi Saga Besara hot with steamed rice or roti.
