Cooking Measurements
Ingredients:
2½ cups chopped Spinach (palak)
1/2 cup finely chopped Onion (1 large)
1/2 cup Gram Flour(besan/chickpea flour)
2 tablespoons Rice Flour (or gram flour), optional
1/2 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder, optional
1 teaspoon Cumin-Coriander Powder, optional
Salt, to taste
Oil, for deep frying
2-3 tablespoons Water, as needed
Directions:
  1. step-1
    Clean the spinach leaves(palak) and wash them under running water to remove any dirt. Transfer them to a colander and drain excess water. Finely chop them and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. step-2
    Add finely chopped onion.
  3. step-3
    Add 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon cumin-coriander powder and salt.
  4. step-4
    Add gram flour(besan) and rice flour.
  5. step-5
    Mix well with a spoon. As you can see the mixture turns wet because of the moisture in the palak.
  6. step-6
    Add 2-3 tablespoons water(as needed) little by little and mix well.
  7. step-7
    For crispy pakodas, don’t add more water; just add water as needed to bind the mixture.
  8. step-8
    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium flame to deep fry the pakodas. When oil is medium hot, drop a small portion of batter into the hot oil either by using a spoon or your hand to make pakoda. Drop 5-7 portions of batter in a single batch, depending on the size of a pan to make pakodas.
  9. step-9
    Deep fry them until they turn light golden and crispy.
  10. step-10
    Remove them using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper napkin. Palak Paokdas are ready for serving.
Tips and Variations:
  • If rice flour is not available, use the same amount of gram flour instead of it.
  • Don’t stir immediately after adding pakodas to the hot oil to prevent them from separating.
  • Do not fry them over low flame because they absorb too much oil and turn soggy.
  • For variation, add 1/2 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain) and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger while making the batter.
Taste:  Crispy and salty
Serving Ideas: Serve them hot with tomato ketch up or mint chutney and a cup of Indian Masala Chai as afternoon snack.
