Mix It all together, add a little water at a time until you get a thick batter. Drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil. Tending to it all the time . Once it floats and takes on a golden color the Bhajia is ready. Take a non stick pan. Heat pan moderate hot. Make batter a little weaker than the frying batter . Drop spoonful of batter in the pan, spread to form pancakes Look at it, as soon as the top looks a little bubbles and slightly dry, turn and continue cooking , within a couple of minutes, this very healthy, very delicious protein pancake with the rainbow of colors vegetable is ready. Enjoy - pancakes were just as delicious. Notes spelt flour can be omitted and chickpea flour used 1 1/2 cups Rice flour - makes Bhajia crispy. Still good without I almost alway use grated potato and add what ever vegetable on hand like green, red and yellow peppers, encourage children to use colors of the rainbow . Let them be part of the daily cooking process Instead of Malibar spinach any other spinach or lettuce maybe used Spring onions can be used “Life is precious you are precious treat yourself accordingly” www.actontv.org
