Wash and roughly chop spinach and curry leaves.
Peel potato and chop into thin long slices.
In a bowl add gram flour, salt ,turmeric,chili powder ,asafoetida, baking soda and mix.
Now add butter milk and make a semi thick paste.
Heat enough cooking oil in a deep wide pan.
Now add chopped spinach,curry leaves,green chilies and potatoes in the gram flour batter and mix well.
Take around 2 tbsp mixture in your hand and gently drop in the hot oil.Make few more to fill the pan
Dont add too much pakoras in one batch ,if you crowd the pan they will not cook properly and remain raw from inside.
Cook on medium heat and don't flip and turn them more then 2-3 times.else they may break and absorb too much oil.
Whenpakoras become golden in colour then drain on a paper napkin and serve hot.
Best served with few fried green chilies,green chutney and tamarind chutney.
