 <\/p>\n

Palak or spinach has juicy green leaves and is grown all over India, specially the northern states. I’ve seen the leaves being used in various dishes like saag, palak, paneer curry, etc. They are a good source of iron, folate, vitamin A and others, and hence good to include in the menu. The leaves give a great taste whenever they are used in the preparation. Today I used fresh leaves to make Palak Pakora for my snacks, and what a wonderful taste I had! The pakoras are good any day with your evening cup of tea or as a snack. It’s also not too difficult to make these pakoras; you can even make them with other kinds of pakora like onion, chilly, potato, etc., and make it a platter. These can be served with some green chutney or chilly or tomato sauce for the perfect taste. Without further ado, here’s the recipe!<\/p>\n
