Today I came up with a great idea of making delicious healthy spinach pakoda like edibles - I would like to call as 'pakodala'. Why so? As a biologist, we term anything similar to something as 'like' and hence pakoda like becomes 'pakodala'. Anyways, lets get to the preparation of the pakodalas.
If you are too concious about your health and at the same savor pakodas and know that you need to eat more spinaches but can't do that because of the yucky taste, this recipe is for you.
Ingredients: 1 cup of gram flour, 1 bunch of spinach, 3-4 tea spoon oil, salt, chilli powder
Cooking time: 4-5 minutes
Procedure:
Add 1/2 cup water into 1 cup of gram flour(besan). If it gets thicker then add little more water, so as you can make a smear if you dip anything into it. Then add salt to you taste and also little chilli powder if you like. Wash a bunch of spinach thoroughly and stack approximately 8-10 leaves one above the other. Pour little bit of oil in a pan and heat it up (depending on the size of the pan, make sure the level of oil is not more than 0.5 cms. Dip the spinach stack(8-10) at a time into the gram flour so that there is a film of gram flour on both the sides of the stack(Now the stack is externally bound by gram flour mix). Then put the stack on the oil. You can cook 5-6 stacks at a time in a pan depending on the size of the pan. Let the bottom side get cooked then carefully turn it over. Now you have hot delicious spinach pakodalas for snacks. Enjoy eating. Pictures are coming....
