Recipe
1
Thoroughly wash 250 grams of spinach leaves and pat them dry. Remove the stems and set the leaves aside.
2
In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of gram flour (besan), 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain), a pinch of asafoetida (hing), salt to taste, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Mix well.
3
Gradually add water to the dry mixture and whisk until you get a smooth, thick batter. The consistency should be such that it coats the spinach leaves well.
4
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium 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 for frying.
5
Dip each spinach leaf in the batter, ensuring it is well coated on both sides. Gently slide the coated leaf into the hot oil.
6
Fry the pakodas in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the pakodas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
8
Serve the palak pakodas hot with green chutney or tomato ketchup.
