Palak Pakora

I usually eat those at restaurants. Any tried and experimented recipe? Do you use frozen spinach? Can I use baby spinach?

Re: Palak Pakora

Just added some chopped or shredded uncooked baby spinach leaves to your usual pakora batter and proceed as normal.

Not sure about frozen spinach though........wouldn't it be too watery? Unless you thaw it out very thoroughly and drain it for a long time squeezing all the excess water out too.

lolz..

Baby spinach is better.
There are two ways:
1) Dip the leaves in the basin mixture and fry them
2) Chop the leaves, add them in the besan mixture of onion, potatoes, etc etc and make pakoras.

Re: Palak Pakora

i love the dipped leaves one. Baby leaves r better cos they r a little thicker but big ones turn out okay too. frozen spinach pakoras??????????????????????/

Re: Palak Pakora

I keep the basic besan mixture on the watery side and fry the whole leaves, turns out super crispy and top it off with chaat masala.. gone in seconds
