Ingredients
  

  • 2 large bunches of spinach ((350-400gms spinach leaves))
  • 1 cup boiled corn
  • 2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 2 teaspoon green chili paste
  • ¼ teaspoon asafoetida / Hing ((Hing))
  • Salt to taste
  • Pinch of turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon Amchur powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Kasoori Methi ((Dry fenugreek leaves))
  • ½ Cup plain yogurt

Instructions
 

Making Spinach Puree

  • Remove the stems from the spinach. If the stems are very tender, and if you prefer, you can keep them.
  • I always discard the stems and use only spinach leaves.
  • Rinse the spinach thoroughly with running water, and make sure to remove any dirt or sand from the leaves.
  • Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a large pot. Once the water starts boiling, add spinach leaves and cook for a minute. Then turn off the heat.
  • Take ice cubes (or cold water with some ice cubes) in a medium bowl. Remove spinach from the pot and place it immediately in the bowl of ice.
  • Placing the spinach into an ice bowl will retain the color and will stop further cooking of spinach.
  • Allow the spinach to cool down for a few minutes, and then remove the ice water.
  • Take spinach leaves (lightly squeeze spinach leaves to remove excess water) into a blender jar.
  • Blend the spinach leaves into a smooth spinach or Palak puree, set aside.

Making Palak Corn

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add ginger paste, green chili paste, and asafoetida. Saute for few seconds.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and mix well. Cook the tomatoes until they are soft, pulpy, and mushy.
  • Then add turmeric powder and Amchur powder. Mix well.
  • Add spinach puree, mix and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Now add boiled corn, mix and cook for a minute.
  • Following this, add salt to taste, Garam Masala powder, Kasoori Methi, and plain yogurt.
  • Mix well until everything is well combined, cook for a minute, and turn off the heat.
  • Serve Palak Corn or Spinach and Corn Curry hot with Roti, Naan, or Rice.
