Instant Pot Saag

This is my favorite thing to make when I discover mustard greens in our CSA veg box.  If I'm feeling fancy, I'll buy some paneer cheese to add at the end.  I like it over rice, with pita chips or naan, or even as a veggie dip.


  • 2 tablespoons ghee (or butter)
  • 2 onions diced
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger

Spices

  • 2 teaspoons salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne (adjust to taste, I don't use any)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 pound spinach, rinsed
  • 1 pound mustard leaves, rinsed
  • Instructions
     

    • Press the “saute” button on the Instant Pot and add the ghee. Once it melts, add the onion, garlic, ginger and spices to the pot and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the spinach, stirring until it wilts and there’s enough room to add the mustard greens.
    • Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 15 minutes at high pressure.
    • Naturally release pressure.
    • Remove the lid and use an immersion blender to puree the contents of the pot (or pour the contents into a blender and then add the blended mixture back into the pot).
