Palak Aur Makai ki Curry

🇮🇳 Indian

Sweet corn kernels folded into creamy palak gravy, the dhaba-favourite makai palak. Slow-built masala, soft centres and a gravy that clings to the spoon. Serve with jeera rice or flaky parathas.

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
