Temperature dipping down, makes me feel like having pakora’s/ pakodas 🙂 Have a huge pack of spinach , so thought of preparing pakora and did not want to have the deep fried one’s. Ever since Vidya posted her Onion Pakora, I wanted to try the same way. So all credit goes to my dear friend 🙂 Completely a guilt free snack for tea time which tastes awesome 😀

Ingredients:

Baby Spinach : 1 1/2 to 2 cups packed

Chickpea Flour/Besan/Garbanzo flour : 1/2 cup

Rice Flour : 1/4 cup

Asafoetida/Hing: a generous pinch

Ginger : a small piece finely chopped

Ajwain/Carom Seeds : 1/2 teaspoon

Red Chili Powder : 1/4 teaspoon

Pepper Powder : 1/2 teaspoon

Water : as required

Salt : 1/4 teaspoon

oil : 1/4 teaspoon

Baking Powder : 3/4 teaspoon

Method:

• Mix Besan, rice flour, red chili powder, pepper powder, salt, ajwain, hing together.
• Chop baby spinach, ginger and mix with flour.
• Spinach would have some water content, so it is better to mix with flour before water.
• Add water slowly and make batter. Make sure the batter is thick and not running and be careful while adding water.
• Add baking powder at the end and mix. Rest for 5 mins.
• Meantime preheat oven to 400 F
• Grease baking sheet or use parchment paper and grease it.
• Take batter and form round patties, need not be shaped, place them on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 mins, then flip sides and baked for another 20 mins.
• If you want it very crispier bake for extra 10 mins.
• Make sure spinach is more than flour, as it shrinks while cooking/baking.
• Serve with hot chai 🙂
