CORN PALAK a no onion – no garlic recipe
Corn palak is a delicious creamy Indian curry which goes well with roti as well as rice. It is no doubt nutritious as it contains the green leafy vegetable – Palak. Somehow we don’t like onion in this curry and garlic I never use. I personally like this curry more along with rice.
This is a very simple to make curry recipe with very few ingredients. I have put cashew paste to enhance the taste but you can also use almonds. I Just want to try this recipe by adding Pistachios paste, will share the pic here whenever I do so.
