Such people would love to play around in their kitchen. The thrill of being able to create something new and sharing it with others is what fuels the passion for cooking. 

Today let's try a new new variety of dish with spinach. Corn and spinach make a perfect match.

Spinach Corn curry Ingredients 

• 1 cup corn kernels (you can use frozen ones or steam fresh corn kernels for about 20 mins) 
• 1 onion, chopped 
• 4 cloves of garlic,
• 1 green chilli chopped, 
• 2 chopped  cups spinach puree 
• A pinch of asafoetida 
• 2 tsp coriander powder 
• 1 tsp cumin powder 
• Salt to taste 
• 1 tsp garam masala 
• 1 tsp chaat masala 
• 2 tbsp oil 

Method 

If you are using fresh spinach, roughly chop and blanch it in a little water. remove from heat, let it cool and puree.  On a side, put corn kernels for steaming. It usually takes about 15-20 mins for them to become soft. Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add asafoetida, garlic and green chillies. Saute for a couple of minutes till the garlic just start to brown. Add the chopped onions and sauté for another 8-10 minutes till the onions become soft and turn slightly brownish. Now add the spinach puree and all the spices. Cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and blend together with a stick blender. I prefer stick blender because then I can control how much to blend, I do like a few pieces of onions here and there. Return to heat, add the steamed corn kernels. Cook covered for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with paranthas.
