Palak fritters

Healthy crunchy fritters(Pakodi) are my family's favorite evening snack. I have added a few palak, red amaranth, onion shoots, oregano leaves and onion along with besan as the main ingredient.

Tips

I have used greens to make the fritters more nutritious.

Method

* In a bowl add all the ingredients, add very less water, make a coarse dough. 

* Keep oil for frying.Once its medium hot, take small portions from the prepared fritter batter and make into desired shaped fritters, deep fry.

* Once first batch of fritters are done, remove it in kitchen napkin. Let it absorb excess oil. Serve with masala chai.
