1 Cup Gram Flour(Besan)
1/4 Cup Rice Flour
20-25 Spinach Leaves (Palakura/Palak); wash under running water

Directions

• In a bowl combine all the ingredients (except oil & spinach leaves) to make a thick batter(not too thick or thin) without any lumps.

• Heat oil in a sauce pan/kadai on a medium flame & once oil is hot enough, dip each spinach leaf into the batter & drop them in oil.

• Fry them in small batches for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown & keep turning the bajjis with a strainer ladle while frying otherwise they get discoloured.

• Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.
• Serve spinach fritters with tamarind or green chutney.
