Spinach Pakoda

Friends,

It seems like summer has not quite yet there in Chicago area, at least till last week end.

Weekend was quite gloomy and my husband, as usual, nagged for some evening "theeni" to go with tea.

• Mix all the ingredients into a thick batter(paste).

• Then,heat the oil in a thick kadai & when the oil is in medium heat put the batter into the oil using the teaspoon or by hand.
