Additional Tips
- For a richer texture and flavor, add a tablespoon of cashew or almond paste when blending the cooked palak; this will also help mellow the spice and create a creamier consistency without using dairy.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve a portion of the cooked corn and stir it in after blending the palak; this adds a delightful contrast and pops of sweetness in each bite.
- To retain the vibrant green color of the palak, immediately plunge the blanched spinach into ice water before blending, then drain well—this prevents the greens from turning dull during cooking.
- For a tangier note, finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a sprinkle of amchur (dried mango powder) just before serving; this enhances the natural flavors and balances the richness.
