Ingredients

  • 1 bag bag baby spinach
  • 1 cup gram flour
  • salt to taste
  • red chili powder to taste

  • 1/2 cup of water or more to create a pancake-like batter
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Wash, clean and dry the spinach leaves.
  • Mix gram flour, salt, chili powder, baking soda and water in a bowl to form a smooth and thick paste, something like pancake batter consistency.

  • Stack 2-3 leaves of spinach together, stem side up. Holding the stems together, dip the spinach leaves in the batter to coat evenly and drop into hot oil. Flip after 1 minute. Remove onto absorbent paper when golden brown.
