2. Add the garlic cloves and stir fry till they are light brown.

3. Now add the palak leaves, salt and simmer to cook in its own water until the oil starts to float on top and the palak leaves are cooked. Sprinkle water only if needed.

Kashmiri saag is always cooked with whole leaves...however if you want to used chopped palak you may do so. There are no spices added to this. The flavours just come from the garlic, chillies and mustard oil.
