Steps

35 minutes

1

Make a semi thick batter using all the ingredients. It's a must. It should not be watery at all. The batter should be thick yet smooth and lumpfree. Use your hands to make the batter. It's always beneficial that way. Clean hands thoroughly before proceeding with it. And always give the batter a standing time of atleast 20 minutes.
2

Use of water depends upon the quality of the flour. So add it accordingly little by little. Therefore it's a bit difficult to say how much of water is enough for the batter. So use it according to the requirement.
3

Clean and pay dry all the leaves. Set them aside until use. Meanwhile as the stipulated time gets over, heat enough oil for deep frying these fritters on a low. Don't hurry about it. This way the oil gets heated up really well.
4

Dip each spinach leaf in the prepared batter until well coated on all the sides and deep fry in hot oil on a medium to high heat. Do keep a check on the temperature and fry. If it decreases, allow it to heat up and then proceed with frying. Do not do it on a high heat only. Maintaining the temperature is quite important. Drain on an absorbent paper or a kitchen towel after done. Similarly follow the same for all the fritters as they get fried.
5

Serve these piping hot with any dip of your choice. Kissan Tomato Ketchup is the best. Enjoy! Yum! Do not forget to sprinkle some Chat Masala before serving.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
