Ingredients:
- 1 cup gram flour (besan)
- 1/4 cup rice flour (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (can be replaced with ajwain seeds)
- A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
- Salt to taste
- Water, as needed
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and chopped
- Indiyeah Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil or Indiyeah Cold Pressed oil your choice for deep frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Spinach:
- Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and chop them roughly. You can use both the leaves and tender stems.
- Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, rice flour (if using), red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin/ajwain seeds, asafoetida, and salt.
- Gradually add water to the dry ingredients to make a thick, smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps. The batter should coat the back of a spoon but still be pourable.
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat enough Indiyeah Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil for deep frying in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat.
- To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
- Dip and Fry:
- Dip each spinach leaf into the batter, coating it completely. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- Carefully slide the coated spinach leaf into the hot Indiyeah Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil. Repeat this process a few more times, leaving enough room for stirring.
- Fry the pakodas until they turn golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried spinach pakodas and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Continue this process in batches until you've used all the spinach leaves and batter.
- Serve Hot:
- Spinach pakodas are best enjoyed hot and crispy. Serve them with green chutney or tamarind chutney and a cup of hot tea.
Tips:
- You can add a pinch of baking soda to the batter to make the pakodas even more crispy.
- Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of red chili powder.
- Feel free to add other spices like garam masala or chaat masala for extra flavor.
- Ensure that the oil is at the right temperature. If it's too hot, the pakodas may brown quickly on the outside but remain undercooked inside. If it's not hot enough, they can absorb too much oil and become soggy.
