Palak Patte Pakora is a delicious snack prepared with spinach leaves dipped in spiced gram flour batter and fried until crispy and crunchy. Perfect to be enjoyed with green chutney and a garam garam cup of chai (Hot cup of tea). This is street food, the Indian way!
I absolutely love pakora/bhajia or anything dipped in gram flour and fried. Saying that, I am quite a connoisseur when it comes to pakoras and cannot bear the greasy, floppy, stringy flavoured doughy pakoras. For me perfect pakoras are fried until golden and crispy; spiced perfectly; slightly tart from the chaat masala and I want a big big portion! Pakoras are quite versatile and can be made with virtually any vegetable, so you can use this pakora recipe as a springboard to do your own variations.
These little nuggets come with a warning as they are sooo dangerously easy to eat, the sort of snack you just keep popping into your mouth, one after the other, until you suddenly realize that you have eaten a whole plate of pakoras – so remember to make a few extra for the others. Serve pakora as a starter for an Indian meal, a light meal, or pass them around as canapés at your next gathering. They’re gluten free and vegan so everybody can enjoy them!
