SPINACH CHICK PEA PAKORAS

One of the great things about having spinach growing in my garden is I can make a batch of pakoras.

1 bunch of spinach shredded
2 potatoes grated ( you can leave skin on)
2 brown onions. finely slices
4 garlic cloves diced
1 small chilli de seeded and finely diced
I can of chick peas drained.
mint as desiredn 

spices: 
1 tsp. tumeric
1 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt.

1 cup potato flour
1 cup of dahl flour.


Combine the onions potato chick peas and spinach in a bowl 


Combine well with garlic, chilli , spices, baking soda and salt and flours.
You can add a little water too, but usually the moisture from the vegetables is enough. 


Press using a spoon into patties and fry in olive oil in hot pan.  After in the pan a few minutes, move the patty so it does on catch . Then flip to cook through. Drain on kitchen paper.

The mix will make a good quantity.
Serve with relish or raita.  Today I used some ripe mango mixed with some red salad onion. 
Garnish with mint
