Palak Fritters/Pakoda
Preparation Time - 5 mins
Cooking Time - 10 mins
Serves - 4
Ingredients :
Palak or spinch - A small bunch
Besan or gram flour - 1/2 to 3/4 cup
Onion - 1 finely chopped
Ginger - 1 inch grated
Green chillies - 4 nos finely chopped
Red Chilly powder - 1/4 to 1/2 tspn
Ajwain or carrom seeds - 1 tspn
(I have added 1/2 tspn ajwain seeds and 4-5 ajwain leaves chopped)
Turmeric - 1/4 tspn
Salt - for taste
Water - as required
Oil - for frying
Method:
1. Wash spinach leaves properly as the tend to have soil in
them
2. Chop the finely.
3. Keep oil for heating.
4. In a bowl, add chopped spinach, onion, ginger, green
chillies, chilly powder, turmeric, ajwain and mix properly.
5. Add besan and salt.
6. Add water and mix well.
7. Make sure the gram flour is not excess.
8. Deep fry and serve hot.
Tips:
You can see in the pic above that the leaves are seen. This is because I added less amount of gram flour to make it more crispy and you eat up loads of spinach leaves instead of besan.
