Prepare the spinach: Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly, drain the water, and chop them into small pieces.
Make the batter: Add the spinach to a mixing bowl with gram flour, red chili powder, carom seeds, and salt. Mix well.
Adjust consistency: Add a little water if needed to make a thick mixture that coats the spinach evenly.
Heat the oil: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the pakoras: Drop small portions of the spinach mixture into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
Serve: Remove the pakoras and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with green chutney or ketchup.
