Spinach leaf pakoras, green confetti in crisp batter. Craggy, crisp and impossible to eat just one of. Plate with fried green chilies and a dusting of chaat masala.

Prep 22 min Cook 15 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
Saltto taste
Spinach300 g, chopped
Green Chili2
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
Asafoetidaa pinch
Gram Flour1 cup
Ajwain1 tsp
Rice Flour2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Combine the spinach with the gram flour and the flours; add water slowly — the batter should coat a spoon, not run off it.
2
Warm the oil till a test droplet sizzles and floats at once; too cool and everything goes greasy.
3
Fry in batches of six or so, nudging them apart; crowding drops the oil temperature and the crunch.
4
Fry till deep gold, flipping once, then lift out and drain on a rack — paper towels steam the bottoms soft.
5
Eat immediately — a fritter's glory is measured in minutes.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
