Corn Peas Palak

In my go green world of recipes, I was all set to make Palak Paneer today for a couple of my friends.. but found that paneer was not available. I thought of trying out something which I had at home. A brief look around made me realize that I had peas and corn. So here it is .. my accidental recipe which was indeed mouthwatering!
