Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix chickpea flour, green chili, salt, and 1/4 cup water in a bowl until smooth thick batter forms, 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Fold sliced onions, paneer cubes, and chopped spinach-cilantro into batter until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high until a drop of batter sizzles instantly, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter into hot oil in batches. Fry 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Drain fritters on paper towels. Arrange on a platter with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and pickled onions.
