on Sep 08, 2021, Updated Oct 05, 2021 I have no idea what the origins of this recipe are. I have no idea if it’s Indian or Chinese but its so dang good! You cannot go wrong with deep fried anything. Testimony to the fact are gobi manchurian, crispy thread paneer, veg cutlets and samosas. But deep fried spinach just takes the cake! It’s so dang good. And nobody can blame you for not eating your greens.
How to make Crispy Fried Spinach + Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients to make crispy fried spinach:
Preparing Spinach: Fresh, green leaves. Wash the leaves well a few times with fresh water to make sure all the dirt is out. Leaves and stems can trap a lot of it. Then pat it dry and layer it between paper towels or kitchen cloth to dry the leaves completely. Ginger and Garlic: Finely chopped so that you don’t get large bits in your biteSalt and Sugar: These create that fine balance that makes this dish so spectacularChilli Flakes: For a hit of heat. Not too muchSesame Seeds: More crunch and flavourOil: For deep frying. I prefer neutral flavoured oils such as canola, sunflower, rice bran
I bet this will make an amazing side dish with anything. You could serve it with grilled chicken, stuffed chicken, or more chinese dishes like thread paneer, chilli paneer, chilli chicken, honey chilli potatoes etc.
