Prepare the Saag
Wash and chop the mustard greens, spinach, and bathua.
In a pressure cooker, add the chopped greens, onion, radish, turnip, green chilies, ginger, and garlic.
Add salt and jaggery. Cook under pressure for about 20 minutes.
Blend and Cook
Once cooled, blend the cooked greens mixture to a coarse paste.
Transfer the paste to a pan, add cornmeal, and cook on low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

In a separate pan, heat ghee and butter.
Add ginger and sauté until golden.
Pour the tadka over the saag and mix well.

Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chilies.
Serve hot with Makki di Roti for an authentic experience.
