In Punjab, our Muslim friends and neighbors also live here. Since it’s the month of Ramadan, I made this spinach shorba for iftar. It helps boost immunity and is easy to digest. Along with corn kernels, we also use cornmeal in this recipe. This shorba is rich in vitamins and iron, which gives strength to the body. You can enjoy it with rumali roti, paratha, or rice, especially after fasting all day.

Steps

1 hour

1

First, wash the spinach leaves in salted water. Blend them well using a hand blender or a mixer until smooth.
2

The spinach will keep its bright green color. Next, heat ghee in a large pot, pressure cooker, or deep pan. Add the whole spices and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the chopped garlic and sauté.
3

Add the tomatoes and green chilies. Sauté well, then add salt and 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Add a little water, cover with a lid, and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Then add sweet corn kernels and cook for another 10 minutes.
4

Cook the mixture thoroughly. Finish by adding ghee and sautéing briefly. Your spinach shorba is ready. Adjust the consistency to your liking—make it thinner or thicker as you prefer.
