We are very much aware of the benefits of Spinach as it is loaded with tons of nutrients. It also provides iron, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It also improves blood glucose control in people with diabetes, also lowering the risk of cancer, and improving bone health.
To make Spinach Fritters crunchy and crispy, each spinach leaf coated with gram flour and then deep-fried. These leaves will provide the base to the chaat like other chaat recipes where we provide a base of papad and mathri.
Normally, we use tamarind sweet chutney and green chutney for any chaat recipe but I am making this snack in a different way so I am using only green (coriander) chutney. Why so? Because what happened is, Relatives are about to reach my home and they informed just 20 minutes before and I had to prepare something delicious and unique for them.
In that short period of time, I simply made spinach fritters and topped with some basic chaat ingredients like onion, tomato, sev, and with ketchup. Believe me, it turns out delicious. So this advice for all those people who ran with lack of time, you can easily replace sweet chutney with tomato ketchup.
Lastly, some tips for the recipe: The important one is about the fritters, try to assemble and serve the chaat as soon as the fritters made otherwise they will turn soggy and chaat will not be crispy. If it becomes soggy, put fritters in preheated oven for a while and serve. Use fresh spinach leaves for fritters. You can add as many chaat ingredients to make it tastes best. You can make it dry and skip adding curd also. Adding rice flour enhances the crunchy flavor of fritters but you can replace it with cornflour. Chat ingredients totally depend on you. You can add or eliminate any ingredients as per your choice.
If you want to make these spinach fritters some hours before then half fry them and when you want to serve, just fry for 30 seconds on high flame. This will help to prevent sogginess from fritters.
Believe me, this is a kind of snack which makes us star in the party. Even kids will love to have this. So, serve this in evening snacks, as well as in starters for kitty parties, Birthday parties, etc. and get ready to share the recipe of Palak Patta Chat with your friends and family.
