Palak Makai (Corn with Spinach) – A Winning Recipe By Adapting a “New Classic”

In years past, I have struggled to make a restaurant-quality palak makai, a north Indian corn and spinach dish.  One recipe attempt was too spiced, the other too bland.  Well, I think I have finally nailed a great palak makai, thanks to Priya Krishna's "new classic" feta saag paneer recipe.  

I didn't take many notes for this recipe attempt, but I remember following my previous modifications to Krishna's recipe (less butter, significantly less coriander), adding some thawed frozen corn, and voila – a well spiced, tangy, and creamy palak makai.  A perfect vegetable accompaniment to my meal of paneer makhani, chana masala, and rice.
