MAKAI PALAK, SWEET CORN PALAK, SPINACH CORN SUBZI

Makai palak is a very tasty dish with hot roti, parantha, rice.  I love to eat with rice any kind of palak preparation.  The combination of sweet corn and palak makes this wonderful and will be liked by everyone as I have made it less spicy.  If you wish, can add more spices according to your requirement.  Palak has abundance of Vitamin K, A, magnesium, iron, calcium, Vitam K, A, C, B2, B6, C.  It is also a great source of protein, phosphorus, vitamin E, zin, dietary fiber and copper and omega 3 fatty acids.  It is less in calories, fat free and cholesterol free.  Also available in abundance.
