Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Cooking Time : 20 minutes
Serves : 4

Ingredients

Palak leaves - 12 big leaves, chopped into bite size bits
Gram Flour - 1/2 cup
Rice Flour - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
Water - as required
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Sweet Chat Chutney - to taste
Green Chat Chutney - to taste
Nylon Sev - as required
Curd - 1 cup
Chilli powder - 3 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Cumin Powder - 3 tbsp
Black Salt - 1 tbsp
Coriander - 1/2 cup, freshly chopped
Oil - for frying

Procedure

1. Wash and dry the palak leaves and chop them into bite size bits
2. Mix the gram flour, rice flour, salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder and water into a very thin consistency (thinner than regular bajji batter).
3. When you coat a palak leaf with the batter, it should not coat it completely, it should be a light coating. This is the right consistency
4.  Heat oil for frying, dip each palak leaf in the batter and fry in hot oil till crisp.
5. Drain on a kitchen tissue.
6. Take a few fried palak leaves and arrange them on a plate, add 2 tbsp of curd on the arranged palak leaves, add a little of the chutneys, nylon sev, chilli powder, salt, black salt and cumin powder.
7. Finally top with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
8. Serve while the palak is still crisp.

Notes: 

1. This is best served when the palak is hot and crisp.
2. Make sure to cut the palak leaves into bite size bits, else you will end up stuffing them into your mouth. :))
3. Add the curd and  remaining ingredients just before serving to maintain the crispiness of the palak
