Instructions
Making Pakora:
Take spinach leaves, remove the hard stalk.
Rinse them well carefully. Pat it dry using kitchen towel or paper napkin. Keep the cleaned, dry spinach leaves aside.
To make the batter, take besan, rice flour, salt, ajwain, turmeric powder, red chili powder and coriander powder in a bowl. Mix well.
Now make the smooth batter by adding little water at a time. The consistency should be medium thick. I have used ⅓ cup of water.
Now heat the oil in a pan for deep frying on medium heat.
Once it is hot, take one spinach leaf, dip into the batter. It should be coated from all the sides.
Gently slid the batter coated spinach leaves in the hot oil. Fry 4-5 pakodas at a time.
Once fried from one side, flip it and fry another side. It should be crispy from both the sides.
Using slotted spatula, drain the excess oil and remove on a paper towel lined plate.
Making Chaat:
arrange the palak pakoda on the plate.
Drizzle some green coriander chutney, tamarind date chutney and yogurt.
Now sprinkle the fine sev and chaat masala.
At this time, you can sprinkle chopped onion and tomato. I have skipped it.
Lastly, add chopped coriander leaves.
Serve immediately.
