Palak Pakoda (Spinach Fritters)

Ingredients:

Spinach/Baby Spinach (finely chopped) - 2 cups

Onion (large) - 1 (optional)

Besan flour - 4 tbsp

Rice flour - 3 tbsp

Green chillies, chopped - 2-3

Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tbsp

Red chilly powder - 1/2 tbsp

Turmeric - pinch

Salt - as per taste

Curry leaves - few

Water - required 

Oil - to deep fry

Procedure:

1. Take a wide mixing bowl, add chopped spinach, chopped onion, green chillies, ginger garlic paste, red chilly powder, turmeric, curry leaves, besan, rice flour, salt and mix well so that all the spinach will be well coated with flour (sprinkle some water if required).
2. Take a wide kadai, add oil and heat it. When oil is sufficiently hot, take a small portion of batter and add as fritters. Fry them until they turn to golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy.

TIP: Do not add more water. The batter should be thick enough to make fritters. Similarly do not add too much of flour. Just the spinach should be coated with batter.
