Wash all the leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt. Best is to soak all the leaves in water for 5 minutes and then pick them out. Wash again in running water and it is ready to use.
Roughly chop mustard leaves, bathua and methi leaves and add them to a pressure cooker with water and chilli. Cover and cook on high heat till the first whistle of the pressure cooker, then lower the heat and cook for another 5mins. Alternatively you can cook them covered in a pan till they wilt and become mashy.
Remove the cover and using a mathani (wooden churner) mash them into pulp.
In a fresh pan melt some ghee and add heeng, dry chilli and stir for few seconds. Add chopped garlic and cook till it starts to brown, add ginger, onions and green chilli. Cook for 2mins and then lower the heat and add chilli powder, coriander powder. Give a quick stir and add the mash of the leaves.
Sprinkle salt and maize flour and cook till the water from the leaves dries up and then ghee starts to ooze out of the sides a bit.
Remove and serve it hot with Makki ki roti (flattened corn bread), white butter, raw onions and gur (jaggery).
