Palak is a very good source of Iron and I am always on a look out for recipes that have Palak as the ingredient. I used to always make Palak and Paneer curry, but for a change added Corn this time. The curry came out wonderful. It was mildly flavored and was very rich and creamy. Corn perfectly complimented the Palak gravy and it was liked by everyone in the family. This recipe is very good for kids as well as it is not very spicy and is super healthy. So go ahead and make this delicious curry.
