Spinach with Corn

Why is this so special? It brings the nutritional benefits of spinach and corn together in a non-salad entree. How great is that! The pureed Spinach with the twist of Indian spices makes it very appealing even for kids. The corn attracts them and also add the color contrast to the entree. Kids and I love eating this with Indian roti and sometimes finish it off with brown rice or quinoa.
