| 1. Sift the gram flour. | 2. Mix all the ingredients (except oil), to make a smooth and thick (almost like dough) batter. | 3. Cover and let it stand for ½ hour. | 4. Sprinkle little water if needed. | 5. (If using frozen spinach, thaw before using.) Blend in all the seasonings (except salt) and mix well. | 6. (You may chill the batter in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or more until it can be handled.) Mix in salt when ready to cook. | 7. Heat the oil in a deep skillet or wok on medium to high heat. | 8. For each pakora, scoop a heaped teaspoon of the batter, and with a second spoon, scrape the mixture into the hot oil. | 9. Put the'pakoras' in a single layer in the skillet. | 10. Fry, turning them with a slotted flat spatula, until all sides become golden brown. | 11. (Regulate the heat as needed while the'pakoras' are being fried.) Remove and drain on paper towels or brown paper bag lined with plastic. | 12. Fry all the'pakoras' this way. | 13. Serve hot with any chutney. | 14. Variation: Add 1 cup corn kernels to the mixture for extra crispness. | 15. May also add ½ teaspoon baking soda to ensure softness. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
