Add the water slowly to make a smooth batter .

Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high heat.

The frying pan should have at least 1-½ inch of oil.

To check if the oil is ready, put one drop of batter in oil.

The batter should come up but not change color right away.

Dip the spinach leaf into the batter one at a time, making sure it is covered by the batter completely; wipe it from side of the batter bowl making sure batter is evenly spread over spinach. Then, slowly drop in the slices into the frying pan.

Fry the pakoras in small batches. The pakoras will take about 2 to 3 minutes to cook.

The crispy, delicious pakoras are now ready to serve.
