Winter has arrived, and so has the season of fresh green leafy vegetables.
Whether you visit busy markets or grow them in your own garden, winter greens
are everywhere. But many people still think that saag only means sarson ka saag.
The truth is that India has many different types of winter greens, each with its
own taste, use, and history.
“This is the time when our bodies need warmth and more nutrients,” says Chef
Nisha Verma, a culinary researcher from Delhi. “Winter greens like bathua,
lai, and chaulai are not just tasty and comforting — they are also very good
for our health.”
So, if you want food that is filling, healthy, and full of tradition, you’re
in the right place. Let’s see why winter is the perfect season to enjoy these
fresh, seasonal greens.
