Palak Bhajiya- crisp and crunchy fritters made with spinach, potato and curry leaves

Palak bhajiya is  very popular street food from Kolhapur. The already crisp palak /spinach coated with crisp besan batter is a yummy easy to make snack to have with Chai on a nice monsoon day or Soda for a chatty get together with friends and family.

Fried food is loved and enjoyed by every one though now due to health reason and the high calories count often we avoid fried food but occasional indulgence is accepted 🙂

These palak bhajiyas are made with roughly chopped spinach,thinly slices potatoes, addition of curry leaves gives a nice flavour and taste to these pakoras. Buttermilk and baking soda gives a nice crisp and crunchy texture .

You can also half fry them first and when you want to serve just slightly press and refry the pakora .Try these crispy palak bhajiya and you will surely love them!

There are so many fried items which are popular all over India and world wide like-

  • Mumbai Pav Bhaji ,
  • Mumbai Vada Pav ,
  • Punjabi Aloo Samosa
  • Moong daal kachori,
  • Ram Ladoo
