Corn Palak Paneer

Go Green with Corn Palak Paneer

I have tried this many times and this has always comeout good. This is easy and quick to prepare and if you have some guest comming for lunch/dinner this can show them your real skills. And on top of this I impressed my darling wife with this creation.

I do not have a picture for this and I will post when I make this next time.

Did you know?
Spinach, Popeye and the myth
The cartoon character Popeye the Sailor Man is portrayed as having a strong affinity for spinach, becoming physically stronger after consuming it. A frequently circulated story claims this portrayal was based on faulty calculations of the iron content. In the story, German scientist Emil von Wolff misplaced a decimal point in an 1870 measurement of spinach's iron content, leading to an iron value 10 times higher than it should have been, and this faulty measurement was not noticed until the 1930s. However, recent research has shown that this is just another long-standing myth, and spinach was chosen and promoted in Popeye for its vitamin A content alone.
