WHAT IS PALAK CORN?
Palak Corn is a semi-dried curry made by adding corns to the spinach puree along with onion, tomatoes, and ginger-garlic paste. This delicious Punjabi Palak Corn Recipe is usually served during the months of November to February when it’s cold. STEP 1: Add oil to the Instant Pot and press saute. Add chopped onion and fry for 2-3 minutes. When onions start to change the color, then add tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes for 3-5 minutes or until they turn mushy. Then add ginger-garlic paste and saute for 1 more minute. STEP 2: Then add the spices (garam masala powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt). STEP 3: Add spinach leaves in the Instant Pot along with ¼ cup of water and close the lid. Pressure cook for 3 minutes with the vent in the sealing position. NPR for 5 minutes and then Quick Release. STEP 4: When the pressure is released, then open the lid. Using an immersion blender or any other blender, coarsely grind the spinach and keep it aside. Or you can use a masher to mash the spinach coarsely. STEP 5: Lastly, adjust the flavors and add the corn to the pan. You can add sweet corn kernels or boiled corn kernels. Once boiled, add boiled corn in ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Cook for 2-3 minutes and serve. STEP 6: Make the garlic tempering for the extra flavor. Add ghee to the pan and add minced garlic. Fry until they start to change color and add Kashmiri red chili powder. Fry for 1 minute and add this tempering over the palak corn recipe. This corn curry can be served as a Main Course or a side with Indian flatbread or rice. Hint: To make this spinach curry extra flavorful, always add a tablespoon of ghee (clarified butter) just before serving. Palak corns taste best when served with ghee.
