A creamy, comforting vegetarian dish made with tender spinach and sweet corn, perfect as a main course or a flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 tablespoon butter or oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
1/2 cup milk or cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and finely chop the spinach leaves.
  2. If using fresh corn, boil until tender; if using frozen or canned, drain and set aside.
  3. Heat butter or oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onions and garlic until translucent.
  4. Add the green chilies (if using) and cook for another minute.
  5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted.
  6. Add the corn kernels and mix well.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the flour with milk or cream to form a smooth slurry if using flour.
  8. Pour the milk or cream (or slurry) into the pan and stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
  9. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  10. Optionally, add grated cheese and stir until melted.
  11. Serve hot with bread, paratha, rice, or as a snack.

Notes

  • Use low-fat milk for a healthier version.
  • Add more cheese for a richer, creamier dish.
  • For a spicier dish, add extra chilies or red pepper flakes.
  • Use the mixture as a sandwich filling for a hearty meal.
  • To make it vegan, substitute butter with oil and use plant-based milk and cheese.
