Looking for a quick and tasty veggie appetizer for your next get-together? Well, why not give these Spinach Fritters or Pakoras are from Asha Shivakumar’s cookbook titled “Masala & Meatballs” a try!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach washed and dried
- 1 white onion chopped

- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/3 cup water or more as needed
- Oil for frying I used corn oil
Instructions
- Pour oil to 3 to 4 inches deep in a pan and heat oil to 375 degrees.
- While oil heats, add spinach, onion, flour, chili powder, turmeric, salt, cumin to a bowl and mix well with hands - when spinach and onion begin to wilt, add in water and mix well (at this point I used a spoon).
