Corn-e-Palak - A delicious Spinach Recipe!

From the first time i watched The Popeye Show, where spinach was popularized so much, i've always sought for yummy palak recipes.

Until recently, Palak Paneer was my only option. But recently i came across this dish which i like to call Corn-e-Palak. It turned out so yummy, it's entered the prestigious list of my favorite healthy food! ;-)




Serves 4 people.



Time needed - 20 min





Ingredients -

1 bunch of palak
1 corn
1 carrot
3 onions
4 green chillies
4-5 tbspn malai (cream)
1 tspn cumin seeds
1/2 tbspn turmeric
1 tbspn garam masala
5 garlic cloves

Method - 

• Clean the palak well and boil it. Strain the boiled palak, and save the water(stock) in a vessel. Put the boiled palak into a mixer to get a thick paste. Keep it aside.
