Ingredients
Puda Batter
- 1 cup gram flour (besan)
- 1 cup fresh spinach finely chopped
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder adjust to taste
- to taste salt
- as needed water to make smooth batter
- as needed oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: I mix gram flour, cumin seeds, red chili powder, salt, and water in a bowl until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Add vegetables: I gently fold in the finely chopped spinach and onions, making sure everything is evenly mixed.
- Rest the batter: I let the batter rest for a few minutes so the flavors settle and the texture improves.
- Heat the pan: I heat a non-stick pan or tawa and lightly grease it with oil.
- Cook the puda: I pour a ladle of batter onto the pan, spread gently, and cook on medium heat until golden spots appear.
- Flip and finish: I flip the puda and cook the other side until fully cooked and lightly crisp.
