Palak Puri - Spinach Puffed Fritters

Spinach enhanced puris, deep fried and served with pickle / curd or along with hot cup of tea! These puris are irresistably yummy and filling too.

Normally spinach puree is used in making of this palak puri (spinach fritters), but I prefer to prepare it by roughly chopping the cooked spinach leaves.

Ingredients: (Serves approx. 3)

• 2 Bunches of Cooked Palak (Spinach)

• 2 tsp Ginger - Garlic Paste

• 2 tsp Coriander Powder

• 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder

• 1/2 Cup Besan (Gram Flour)

• 2 Cups Wheat Flour

• Salt to taste

• Oil

Method:

• Cook palak (spinach leaves). Drain excess water and keep aside to cool. Once the palak(spinach leaves) are cooled enough, cut them roughly.

• In a bowl, add chopped spinach leaves and rest of the ingredients.

• Mix all the ingredients well and start kneading the dough by adding small amount of water at a time. Knead a stiff dough.

• Drizzle little oil over the kneaded dough. Cover and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

• After resting the dough, grease the rolling board with oil & roll out puris into 3" diameter circle.

• Roll the puris little thick and deep fry in hot oil. Fry from both sides till golden brown.

• Transfer the puris onto an absorbent paper to drain excess oil.

• Palak Puri - Spinach Puffed Fritters are ready.

• Serve hot with a cup of tea or with your favourite pickle or vegetable or curd.
