Spinach pakora, pakoda recipe, How to make palak pakora(spinach fritters)
Spinach pakoras are healthy and delicious crunchy snacks served with tea or coffee for evening snacks in india. I usually make onion pakoras because my husband is a huge fan of it but yesterday I wanted to try making this recipe for no reason. These pakoras don’t need special evening but it can turn even the dull evenings into special ones. So lets get to the making!
