When winter sets in, have you ever wondered why you’re always hungry or have the urge to consume something? Well, it’s because the drop in our body temperature stimulates our appetite. Our mental state has always been significantly influenced by our nutrition. One should always eat in accordance with the seasons because eating food out of season can have negative health effects because of its opposing nature. So here are a few Indian winter dishes for you to enjoy now that winter has arrived.

Sarson Ka Saag

It is a common meal in northern India, particularly in Punjab. It is a mustard greens meal that also contains ginger and other spices. Any bread can be used to serve this, however Makki ki roti is the preferred accompaniment. Add a little butter or ghee on top for a more enhanced taste
