No-Fry Onion-Spinach Pakora (Gluten-Free Indian Fritters)
Crispy, golden brown and irresistible, No-Fry Onion-Spinach Pakora or Fritters, are an extremely popular snack in Indian cuisine. They can also be combined with a yoghurt-based curry called Khadhi.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour (besan) with spices and baking soda. Add water and make a pancake consistency batter. Add chopped spinach and sliced shallots. Mix well.
Heat a stuffed pancake pan on medium heat. Add about ½ a teaspoon of light olive oil, in each cavity. Using two spoons, add about a tablespoon of batter in each cavity. Cover the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side. Add a few more drops of oil on the pakoras and flip them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve pakoras warm with your favorite chutney.
