METHOD OF PREPARATION

Editorial verification required before publishing the final cooking method.

The uploaded source JSON contains a preparation section that does not match the Saffron Badam Haakh ingredient list. It introduces ghee, mustard seeds, fenugreek, ajwain, bay leaf, bitter gourd, mixed vegetables, water, coconut milk, and Panch Phoron—ingredients that are not listed in this recipe’s ingredient section.

To avoid publishing an inaccurate haakh saag recipe, those mismatched steps have been removed rather than silently rewritten as if they were verified. The source does clearly establish these preparation details:

  • the haakh / collard greens are chopped;
  • the saffron is soaked in warm water;
  • the almonds are soaked and peeled; and
  • the fennel seeds are lightly crushed.

Please insert the kitchen-tested cooking sequence for this exact ingredient list before the page goes live. Once the final method is confirmed, the Recipe schema should also be updated with matching step-by-step instructions.
