Friends,
It seems like summer has not quite yet there in the Chicago
area, at least till last weekend. The weekend was quite gloomy and
my husband, as usual, nagged for some evening "theeni" to go with
tea. That's when I thought of this Spinach pakoda and masala
tea. We had a good time with tea, pakoda and sun tv.
Here is the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Besan flour 1/2 Pack Spinach
- 2 Medium size Onions
- 1/2tsp Baking powder (or)Baking soda
- Food color (if needed)
- Salt
- Oil for frying
- 1/2tsp Baking powder (or)Baking soda
- Food color (if needed)
- Salt
- Oil for frying
- Cut the spinach & onion in small pieces.
- Fry both spinach & onion till they are half done (for 4-5 mts).
- Now add the baking powder to the besan flour and add the fried spinach and onion.
- Mix all the ingredients into a thick batter(paste).
- Then, heat the oil in a thick kadai & when the oil is in medium heat put the batter into the oil using the teaspoon or by hand.
- Fry till golden brown.
- Spinach pokada is ready to serve hot with tea or coffee.
