  • 1 green chili
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp ajwain
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt

Add the chickpea flour and rice flour to the spinach mixture. Mix with your hands, adding water only a little at a time if the mixture feels dry, until the leaves are just coated in a thick, sticky batter.

  • 120g chickpea flour
  • 2 tbsp rice flour
  • 2-3 tbsp, if needed water

✅ C'est prêt quand : no dry flour is visible and the batter clings thickly to the vegetables
