Firstly, in a saucepan take water and get to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, add 1 bunch palak and dip completely.

Boil for 2 minutes or until the palak is blanched.

Drain off the palak and rinse in ice cold water to retain the colour of the palak.

Squeeze the water from the palak, and transfer to the mixer jar.

Add 4 cloves garlic, 2 inch ginger and 3 chilli.

Grind to fine paste without adding water. Keep aside.

In a large kadai, heat 2 tbsp ghee. Add 1 tsp cumin and splutter.

Add in 1 onion and saute until the onion softens.

Further add 1 carrot, 1 potato, ½ capsicum, 3 tbsp sweet corn and 3 tbsp peas.

Stir fry until the vegetables turn crunchy.

Now add in prepared palak paste and cook well.

Further add 2 cup water, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp garam masala.

Mix and get to a rolling boil.

Once the water comes to a boil, add 1 cup basmati rice (soaked 20 mins) and mix gently.
