Palak Corn is a delicious spinach side dish with corn kernels in it. It pairs well with roti or paratha.
Those who read me regularly know that I love using spinach in my daily cooking. It is versatile, can be used in a wide range of dishes and most of all, everyone likes it at home. Spinach makes a good accompaniment with any Indian flat bread. Corn Palak is one such sabzi that I make sometimes.
Nutrients in Spinach:
Spinach is rich in niacin, zinc, protein, fibre, vitamin A, C,E, K, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosporous, potassium, copper and manganese. It is low in fat and cholestrol. With so much of nutrients and we being vegetarians, I find it good to use this green leaf often.
