Spinach Fritters(Palak Pakora)

It is an Indian thing , when it rains we always long for a cup of hot tea (Chai) and some fritters (Pakoras). Now we make pakoras out of anything, potatoes and other veggies, even chicken and the rules are simple . You always make the fritters using a batter made of gram flour or besan and then spice it up to your taste.
So this evening was no different, very lazy owing to the gloomy weather outside, thus we decided to live our fantasy by making some fritters and tea. I did not make the conventional fritter but used spinach in them and cooked the green spinach fritter which my mom used to make at home. It is vegan, crispy, crunchy and very tasty for everyone’s palate and you should try it if you like to taste something new.
