Back to Basics: Mustard Greens and Potato Curry (Rayo ko Saag) Recipe!!

The main reason I started sharing recipes through this blog was because basic Nepali food is the most I miss. There are so many vegetables and spices that are not accessible here in the States and therefore its been ages since I haven't had them. When I saw "Rayo ko Saag" in Chinese store the other day, I was literally jumping :D It is one of my favorite kind of greens and it had been seven darn years and finally I found one. Like me, I think "rayo ko saag" is every Nepali's favorite. Here you go everyone, follow the steps below for extremely easy yet very authentic "Rayo ko Saag" curry. Also, you can use any kind of greens as a substitute :)
