Process of making Palak Pakora
Heat oil in a pan. Apply a little oil in your hands, lift some batter and make rounds and put it in the pan for frying. Remember oil should be medium-high hot and flame should be medium. When the pakoras turn golden brown from all sides, take them out. Fry the rest of the pakoras in the same way, the pakoras will be ready.

When the oil is heated on a low flame, add ½ tsp of cumin, 1 pinch of asafoetida, ½ tsp of turmeric powder, 1.5 tsp of coriander powder and tomato, green chilli, ginger paste. Fry the spices by turning up the flame a bit.
Then add coarsely crushed whole spices and 1.5 tsp of kashmiri red chili and fry till it leaves oil. Make a thin batter by mixing 1 tsp of gram flour and water in a bowl till the spices are roasted. When the oil separates from the spices, add gram flour mixture to it and keep it covered for 5 minutes.
When the time is up, add 2 cups of water, 1 tsp of salt or as per taste, to bring sour taste in the vegetable, add ½ tsp of dry mango powder and some green coriander and cook it till it comes to a boil. When it comes to a boil, let the gravy boil like this for 5-6 minutes.
