Tips to make crispy palak bhajiya: 1. Dry the palak patte with a clean kitchen towel. If there is any water content left, the batter won’t coat well and the hot oil might splutter while frying. 2. Make sure to use clean and green leaves. Discard the wilted or mushy leaves. 3. The batter should be slightly thick and not runny.
