Notes
1.Here, to enhance the taste of palak pakora I have used onions but if one doesn't prefer to add onions then skip the onion and add in 1 or 2 more spinach bunches which are finely chopped.
2.Adding onions along with any vegetables gives a real taste to the pakodas...
3.Frying on low flame cooks the pakodas well from inside and tastes well.
4.I have not used cooking soda but it can definitely be added in a minute(a pinch) quantity if preferred...
5.We can also add some freshly chopped coriander leaves too.
