Palak Pakora ~ Spinach fritters Pictorial Directions:

  • Pick fresh neat (untorn) baby palak leaves. Wash them gently.

  • Put in washed leaves in the water and let it sit for just 1/2 minute. Not more than that. It will become soft if kept for too long..if water is hot also the leaves will turn soft.
  • Ok i heard you, then why do we need to blanch? Because, leaves will get torn when dipped in batter if not blanched.
  • Take a bowl, put in bajji mix and add water to make it thick batter.
