Spinach Fritters Recipe is another version of palak pakoda where the whole leaf is dipped into the batter and deep-fried to make these spinach fritters. In another version of palak pakoda I have used finely chopped palak/spinach and sliced onions and these are totally different as I would be using whole spinach leaf to make the fritters.

These deep fried bhajiya too are an amazing snack which are similar to palak pakora but here, I have made use of spinach leaf to make the pakodas and the batter which I have used to make them is plain besan batter without adding onions into it.

The batter is made of besan and spices and to get a crispy taste I have used rice flour. This cold weather is the perfect time to make this winter and rainy special fritters with the main ingredient being spinach leaf...

Adding baking soda always gives a very soft texture from inside and adding rice flour to the batter gives a very crisp texture from outside...

The pakodas are quite popular all through the Indian regions and in hyderabad we usually call them as pakodey or bajji or bhajiya and they are quite popualar in south indian regions too...

        This recipe too is perfect for rainy and winters and it is also usually made during the month of ramazan as an iftar snack recipe..

All we need to keep handy is few fresh spinach leaves and besan batter to dip the spinach leaves in batter and deep fry...
