Palak Pakoda/Spinach Fritters is a simple & quick pakoda made with fresh spinach leaves. I have used palak variety, U can use any spinach. It is a perfect evening snack, particularly for those fussy kids who refuse to eat spinach/greens. Am always happy to sneak in some spinach. This is a quick fix recipe especially when u have unplanned guests as it can be prepared in a jiffy. They are crispy, tasty & divine with a cup of filter coffee. My favourite combo is, this pakoda along with a piping hot cup of Masala Chai..

Now to the recipe..
[Preparation Time-10 mins : Cooking Time- 10 mins]
Palak Pakoda Ingredients:
- Fresh Spinach – 1 bunch
- Onion – 1
- Besan/Gram Flour – 1/2 cup
- Rice Flour – 1 tbsp
- Chilli powder – 1tsp
- Asafoetida – a generous pinch
- Salt – as needed
- Oil – to deep fry
Method:
- Separate the spinach leaves from the stem, wash and chop it roughly. Like wise chop the onion finely. Mix chopped spinach, onions, besan, rice flour, chilli powder, salt & asafoetida. Mix well with your hands just to bring it together. Do not add any water.
- Meanwhile heat a pan with oil enough to deep fry. Pinch small pieces of the mixture ( may be a spoonful) and drop it in hot oil. Fry till golden brown, turn them on both sides to fry evenly. Drain it in paper towels.
Palak Pakoda is ready.
Enjoy hot with a cuppa coffee or tea.
Tips:
- Do not add water to the pakoda mixture. The water from spinach & onion is enough to bring the dough together, else the spinach pakoda will not be crisp.
- U may add 1 or 2 tbsps of hot oil to the mixture. Be careful while mixing it with your hands.
- U can add crushed garlic & finely chopped green chillies too.
