Tips for palak pakoda chaat. 1. When you pick the palak leaves from the bunch, you can maintain a small portion of the stem. 2. Ensure to dry the palak leaves 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. 3. Add water gradually to the batter. We need a thick batter so it coats the spinach leaves well. 4. It is best to use a whisk to mix the batter so there are no lumps remaining in the batter. 5. Deep fry not more than 3 to 4 leaves at a time, because too many leaves at a time might stick to each other. 6. You can adjust the proportion of chutneys as per your choice. 7. A garnish of chopped coriander would further accentuate the flavour of this chaat.
