1 Tbsp Ginger and Garlic Paste
1/2 Cup Gram Flour (Chickpea Flour)
1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour (Maida)

Oil for frying...



Prep:
Separate the spinach leaves only do not use harder part of stem. Use the fibrous stems in soups or stocks.

Wash the spinach leaves twice or until clean. Spread the leaves on a towel and pat dry. 

Bunch the spinach leaves and finely chop. Reserve the spinach leaves in a colander and allow excess moisture to drain and add to mixing bowl.

Wash and peel Onion , finely chop and reserve.

Wash and finely chop the chilly...reserve.


Method: 
To the spinach add the ginger and garlic paste, chilly powder, garam masala, cooking soda, finely chopped chilly, finely chopped onion mix well till all ingredients are well incorporated.

If  we are are hosting any party we can prep the spinach with the ingredients above and place it in a airtight tupperware refrigerated until use. 

Heat oil in a wok on low flame once we mix all the ingredients in the spinach the oil will be ready for frying.

Just before frying only add the gram flour, all purpose flour and salt, sprinkle little water at a time and mix well.

The batter must be tight not in dropping consistency. Take a golf ball size roundle, pinch and drop the batter in oil fry on low to medium flame.

We can fry the pakodas for two minutes on each side we have to keep flipping it until all sides are golden in color.

Drain excess oil on a kitchen towel and serve these pakodas hot with chai or beverage of choice...Enjoy 😊
