Corn Spinach Veggie (Palak Makai ki Sabzi)

Hi All,
      Palak (spinach) rich in iron and calcium and specially good for growing kids.
There is famous cartoon character Popeye, who eats spinach and becomes physically strong. So what are you waiting for ?? Make sure you serve spinach once in a week to your kids.

You can make several dishes from spinach like palak paneer (spinach and cottage cheese gravy), palak puri, palak aloo (spinach gravy with potato) etc etc.
Today's recipe I tried from one of my favourite cook Nita Mehta's cookbook ....Low Calorie cooking for the Indian Kitchen.
She is an amazing cook. Ingredients she uses are easily available in the stores.
