At the Vegetable Market

A few phrases turn this list into a real conversation at the sabzi mandi:

• Eh kinne da hai? — How much is this?
• Aaloo kinne de kilo ne? — How much per kilo are the potatoes?
• Thoda sasta karo. — Make it a little cheaper.
• Mainu aam pasand hain. — I like mangoes.

Cultural Note: Sarson da Saag te Makki di Roti

No vegetable is more Punjabi than sarhon (mustard greens). Slow-cooked into sarson da saag and served with makki di roti (corn flatbread) and a knob of white butter, it is the dish of a Punjabi winter — comfort food, festival food, and a point of regional pride all at once.
