The clip begins with the digital creator explaining that the man who has the saag prepared is named Chaudhary Saleem, and he gives a large amount of saag to his friends every year.

The saag is slow-cooked for 9 hours, after which its water is removed to reduce the bitterness. Fresh water is then added along with salt and green chili paste, and it is cooked for another hour before being removed from heat. Next, makki ki atta is added, mixed well, and transferred to a degh (cauldron), where it is pureed with the help of a machine. The saag is now ready and packaged to be sent to his friends.
Like us, many internet users were captivated by the process of making saag. One person wrote, "Sending a friend request to Chaudhary Saab." Another said, "Please add me to your list.
