Baked Corn and Spinach Paneer is actually an offshoot of my original Baked Vegetable recipe and when one of the weekend’s I has just spinach at home so I thought of using some frozen corn and paneer to create this yummy dish of Baked Corn & Spinach Paneer.
Best part was since two of them didn’t require much of chopping and spinach needed to be blanched I found it quite cook fix. Offcourse the main aspect of any baked dish including our Baked Corn and Spinach Paneer is the sauce and we kept the seasonings simple yet enough to bring out the flavors. Now Baked Corn and Spinach Paneer interested my hubby too and when he came to know that his favorite Baked Vegetable is getting a twist he was quite excited and thankfully it turned out good enough to keep him asking for more. So though I didn’t start with my choiced vegetables but the end result of cooking Bakes Corn and Spinach Paneer wasn’t bad.
