Instructions 

• In a mixing bowl add in the chopped spinach leaves and onion. Next add in the Besan flour and toss everything together.

Notes

• Serve immediately so that its hot and crisp.
• Adjust the Chilli powder as per your preference. I was feeding for my kids and hence mine was less spicy.
• You can also used chopped green chilli and coriander leaves for extra flavour.
• Don’t stir after dropping in the oil immediately. Else the pakoda will lose its shape and get mess.
