Pitod ka saag

(पिटोड़ का साग)

Pitod ka saag is a traditional dish originating from Rajasthan and consisting of gram flour dumplings in yogurt sauce. The dumplings are made with a combination of chickpea flour, dahi, turmeric, salt, sugar, garam masala, ginger, ghee, fennel seeds, asafoetida, and vegetable oil.


The fennel seeds and asafoetida are sautéed in ghee, and then mixed with the rest of the ingredients. The mixture is stirred for about half an hour or until thick, and it's then poured into a greased pan that's left to chill in the fridge until the mixture sets.


The yogurt sauce is made with a combination of yogurt, ginger, coriander, lemon juice, hot peppers, asafoetida, cumin, cloves, onions, turmeric, salt, sugar, and red chili powder. The sauce is cooked over low heat and kept warm. Dumplings are cut into squares from the greased pan and fried in oil until they form a crust.


They're served on top of the hot sauce and the dish is ready to be enjoyed. Pitod ka saag is especially popular in summer and it's recommended to serve it with steamed rice on the side.
