Instructions
 

  • Clean & wash spinach leaves nicely. Cut leaf part and you can use stem part in curry. Let it dry. Until then we will make a batter.
  • For frying, we will make a batter of gramflour and all the spices written in the particular section. This may vary to your taste. Make a dropping consistency batter by adding water to it. Keep aside for 5 minutes.
  • Keep oil for heating. We will fry on medium - low flame. Dip spinach leaf in the above batter then in wok for frying. You can pan fry it but the results are not same. It is less delicious.
  • After frying add to the plate. Serve 3-4 spinach leaf frittered, some curd, chutneys, nuts, pomogranate seeds, onion, cottage cheese small cubes, some pepper, salt, cumin powder. Mix and serve rapidly.
  • Consume at the same time. It is crispy , tasty and refreshing. It just make my mind blow. I love it.

Notes

  1. Deep fry is the better option, pan frying doesn't make it crispy.
  2. Curd should be sweet, if not you can add some sugar to it.
  3. Spinach needs to be fried on medium flame as suggested to give proper texture.
  4. Any kind of nut used should be roasted well and crushed.
  5. Some spices are used for garnishing, do it like that please. Try and make the chaat this way, you'll surely enjoy your day/evening.
    Thank You
