Ingredients

  • 2 cups Spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Besan (gram flour)
  • 1/4 cup Rice flour
  • 1/4 cup Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 cups Oil, for frying

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup Besan (gram flour), 1/4 cup Rice flour, 1/4 cup Onion (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon Green chilies (finely chopped), 1/2 teaspoon Ginger (grated), 1 tablespoon Cilantro (chopped), 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon Red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and 1/8 teaspoon Baking Soda.
  2. 2Gradually add the 1/2 cup Water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth, thick batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
  3. 3Add the 2 cups Spinach (chopped) to the batter and mix thoroughly until the spinach is evenly distributed.
  4. 4Pour the 2 cups Oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet and heat over medium heat until it reaches 175°C.
  5. 5Carefully drop small spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pakoras are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  6. 6Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pakoras from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. 7Serve the hot Palak Pakora immediately.
