Palak with Corn - Spinach Bhaaji 1


Ingredients:


2 tsp peanut oil
1 cup frozen chopped spinach (palak) leaves (thaw and squeeze water out) or use 1 cup cooked fresh spinach
1 cup fresh or frozen or canned corn, washed and drained


Recipe:


Heat oil in a flat pan or Kadhai (wok)
Add mustard seeds and let them pop.
Remove from heat and add 1/8th tsp hing powder and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder.
Return to heat and add 2-3 dry red chilli peppers.
Add corn and stir. Let it get cooked.
Add spinach and keep stirring.
Add salt to taste.  Keep stirring until spinach gets cooked.
Serve as a side dish with chapati, paratha, puri, naan or pita bread..


Notes:


1) I use the same recipe for other green leafy vegetables.. 
2) I use Toufayan pita bread. I roast pita bread on top of stove (using cake cooling rack). I use tongs and keep turning the bread until it puffs up and then open it and apply 1 tsp ghee on it. I serve this immediately.
