Baby spinach leaves deep-fried in gram flour batter.
Pujo has always meant deep fried food to me. In our family, Shosti and Ashtami are vegetarian days. We mostly make khicuri and lots of batter fired veggies or pulao on these two days. It has now become a habit to eat egetarian deep fried meals on these two pujo days for me. Of all the things mom makes, the palong shaker bora is my favorite!
