PALAK PATTA CHAAT

This is a very easy to cook & eat recipe. Spinach leaf (Palak Patta) chaat is made with batter fried spinach leaf loaded with curd, chutney and then topped with fruits (whatever is available at home), chaat masala and anything that you enjoy eating can be the topping.

Ingredients:

For Pakoda
1. Spinach leaves - 10 leaves
2. Green chilli - 1 (chopped)
3. Besan - 1 cup
4. Ginger - 1 tsp (chopped)
5. Salt to taste
6. Water - to make the batter
7. Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
8. Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
9. Chaat masala - 1/2 tsp
10. Oil - for frying

For Sweet curd
1. Curd - 1 cup
2. Sugar - 2 tsp
3. Salt to taste
4.  Pepper or black salt - 1/4 tsp

For Chutney - You can make Tamarind chutney if tamarind is available. In this covid-19 pandemic, I have not got Tamarind, so I have used ready made tomato-chilli ketchup

Process:
1. Wash and pat dry the spinach leaves. In a separate bowl add besan salt, turmeric, chilli powder, chopped green chillies, chopped ginger and water, whisk it to make a smooth batter.
2. Heat oil in a deep vessel. Dip the spinach leaves in the batter and deep fry them. Once all the pakodas are done, keep them aside.

Note : You can also serve these simple pakodas with chutney and sweet card.

3. Make the sweet curd by combining all the ingredients and keep aside.
4. For preparing chaat, place all the spinach leaves on a plate, drizzle sweet curd and tomato-chilli ketchup (you can use tamarind chutney also as i have mentioned before). Sprinkle chaat masala. 
5. Do the topping with fruits (whichever is available), I have used grapes and mango pieces for the topping. Serve immediately.
