http://www.food.com/recipe/baked-palak-spinach-and-corn-147194 confirms that this is an Indian dish because spinach is called palak. I'm not sure if I like the taste of cumin seed so I searched for another recipe.
http://i2cook.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/spinach-corn-casserole-covered-with-mashed-potato/ When I saw the picture, I know this is what I want to follow because my oldest daughter likes mashed potato. At least one of my children will eat this, not bad! I just referred to the other recipe for oven temperature.
So this is my own version of Baked Corn and Spinach with Mashed Potato Topping
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 tsp crushed garlic
2 cups or 1 bunch chopped fresh spinach
1 cup canned Del Monte sweet corn kernels (reserve the water)
For the mashed potato:
2 cups boiled and mashed potatoes
1/2 tsp pepper
1tbsp butter
1/2 cup whole milk (room temperature)
1 tsp salt (more or less depending on your taste buds)
Topping:
1/4 cup grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Procedure:
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the spinach and corn together with the reserved water from corn kernels. Bring to a boil then simmer until spinach is soft and the water has evaporated.
Mix all the ingredients for mashed potato.
Preheat the oven at 150°C (mine is fan-assisted oven) for 10 minutes.
Grease the baking dish or baking pan with butter. Put the sauteed spinach and corn at the bottom of the baking pan, then put the mashed potato on the upper layer. Finally top with grated cheese. Bake in the oven at 150°C for 20 to 30 minutes until it's golden yellow like this.
Enjoy!!!
