Makai Palak\ Spinach Corn Curry

This is a very healthy recipe with spinach, potatoes and corn and will be just loved by the kids. The combination of these ingriedients is really awesome and they compliment each other.

Makai Palak is usually prepared by blanching the spinach and then pureeing it. But i skipped this step and directly added the finely chopped spinach. This is really simple to prepare and gives a better taste and texture to the curry.


Ingriedients:
Palak \ Spinach leaves - 1 bunch - cleaned and chopped finely
Sweet corn - 1 cup - boiled
1 Potato -boiled and chopped (Optional)
1 Onion - finely chopped
Garlic - 2-3 petals -minced
2 Green chillies  - vertically slit
Mustard seeds - half teapoon
Cumin seeds - half teaspoon
Hing\ Asoefatida
Sugar - half teaspoon
Salt
Oil - 2 tablespoon

Procedure:
1. Take a vok, and add 2 table spoon oil.
2. Add mustard seeds, once they splutter, add cumin seeds, green chillies and hing
3. Next add garlic and chopped onions and fry it till golden brown.
4. Next add the chopped boiled potatoes and fry for some time.
5. Next add chopped spinach leaves and add sugar.
6. Finally add the boiled sweet corn and let it cook for 5-10 mins.

The delicious Corn Aloo Palak is ready.


Serve it with roti or naan.

Notes:
1. Adding boiled potatoes is optional.
2. For boiled corn , I have first boiled the Corn Cob and then shredded the corns to add to the makai palak. You can also buy corn kernels and boild them.
3. I have added half cup boiled water while cooking it as I dont like it completely dry.
