I prepared this yummy subzi several times and my husband and son liked it very much. Green leaves used here is an added advantage of this subzi with sweet corn which helps intake of more fibers as well as it is good for improving hemoglobin level. In fact both of them insist me to prepare this subzi for chapathi, than any other leafy subzi.
