OMG! SO perfect since I grow Malabar spinach. So this is fantastic . Thanks Manjula for posting.
This worked out beautifully! Thank you for the tutorial and recipe. Next time I'll double it – all that and they were gone in a flash! 😀
These were great. The whole cumin seeds are a great touch.
Wonderful, thank you.
My mum says thank you very much for this recipe.We all loved it .
Thank you so much Madam, I love Indian food!
Big Thankyou from Brizvegas
Thankyou i will try it today
Wow! I just made them yesterday, and it was sooooooo delicious that I couldn't stop eaten them! Realy good taste and texture. Very very crispy! Thank you!!
It has never happend with me, only thing i can say may be the batter was too thin.
Ciao Manjula,
bahut bahut dhanyawad for your recipes. I make many of them almost easily and I often succeed, but I fail to make this one.
My problem is: batter doesn't stick to the spinach leaf once I put it in the oil. I've tried thicker batter and thinner, and spinach leaves are fresh and not wet. Also I tried with different oil / temperature / etc.
What can I add to the batter to make it stick to the leaf?
My only solution, so far, is to add an egg to the batter.
Please suggest. Thank you 🙂
I am making this tonight. Thank you!
thank you SOOO much beautiful lady! So easy. So fun to make.
So delicious & nutritious. much gratitude from Canada!
Hi,

Aunty please assist me with how to make that katta meetha chutney at home, the sweet and tangy taste doesnt balance whenever i make. Regards, Savitha, Bangalore

Can i not use the corn starch?
tell me plizz..wht is asafetida (hing) ? may i changed wid another
@anchaldimri
Ararot and cornstarch both give the crispness and give thickness to gravy.
@lasay365 They mean Fort Worth.

Manjula auntee Jee again you are just sssssssssssoooooooooo sweet. Motherly love emerging from you ! Pay lagoo ! Thank you. Ps: to all auntee jee's fan Manjula auntee is not only the best cook I watch her video sometimes just to cheer me up when am stress or worried. She is medice for the soul !
@DeeHong depending on the type of oil you use you can decrease the fat content- also since the batter is fairly thin it doesnt absorb much oil, and any leftover oil should drip onto the paper towel thats on the plate..but, i think for this recipe you might be able to bake them and still have them come out pretty good if you want to take the oil aspect out altogether 🙂
@IndySweetPea1217 Spinach is healthy but deep frying spinach i dunno. But that does look delicious 😀
Looks very appetizing!! Thx for this recipe.
Wow, they look great! I'll have to try this.
This looks delicious, thank you so much for sharing your recipes.
@Deathofblades
You can keep them for few days
Is it possible to make these chips ahead of time and to snack on later? Or will the quality in crunchiness not be the same as the freshly cooked?
@samjanator
Need to be fresh spinach
Mmm, they look delicious! Is it possible to make these pakoray with frozen spinach?
Next time Im buying some spinach! (And preparing crispy spinach pakoras!)
:))
Mrs. Manjula, this looks so good! I think I'll try it!
