Ingredients

  • 1 cluster spinach
  • 1 cup gram flour 1 cup =200ml
  • 2 teaspoon rice flour
  • salt
  • 5 green chilly
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Remove the stalk of spinach leaves. Cut and blanch it. When cool, grind it to a paste with chilly, ginger and cumin.  Do not add water.
  • Remove the paste in a bowl.
  • Add salt to it. Mix. Put rice flour and gram flour to it and knead to a dough. Use only as much gram flour as required. Heat oil in a pan, add two teaspoon of hot oil to the dough.
  •  Take a sev maker, smear some oil to it. Take some dough and make it to a cylindrical shape. Put it inside, close and once the oil is hot, press it directly in the oil. Ensure the oil is on low flame while pressing the sev.
  • Fry on medium high, use a long handled perforated ladle to toss and remove it.
  • Remove on a tissue paper. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Once cool, put in a container and keep it. Stays good for more than a week.

Notes

  • The green chilly used were not hot, so I used 5.
