Tips:

  • You may add some slices of onion.
  • Don’t add too much water while making batter as spinach releases its juice. Use water just enough to coat all the ingredients.
  • Don’t fry pakoras on low flame, they will soak lot of oil. If you are frying on too high flame, it become brown outside very fast and remains uncooked from inside.
  • Chop potaoes in small pieces otherwise they will take lots of time to cook.
  • You can add rice flour to make them crispier.
  • Fry pakoras in small batches.
