Notes

You can also make Aaloo Palak using the same recipe. Just add fried & boiled potato pieces instead of corns.
You can also add some tempering of cumin seeds & garlic to get more flavor to the recipe.
This is usually served dry but you can add more water to make it into a curry.
VEGAN: To make Vegan Palak Corn, don't add any Ghee. Instead, use any vegan oil of your choice.
You can make this recipe with Kale or Collard Greens too.
Hope you'll enjoy Palak Corns as much as I do. Eat with Indian bread or as a side-dish.
