Ingredients
For the Fritters
- 1 cup Split Chickpea split chickpeas
- 1 cup Water for soaking the dal
- 3 clove Garlic
- 2 Chilies finely chopped, green
- 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
- 1 bunch Spinach finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1-2 tsp Salt to taste
For Cooking

Instructions
Prepare the Chana Dal
- Soak 1 cup of chana dal in 1 cup of water overnight. Drain well and squeeze out excess water.
Make the Fritter Batter
- Grind the soaked chana dal, garlic, green chilies, fennel seeds, baking soda, and salt into a coarse paste. Add the finely chopped spinach and mix thoroughly.
Shape and Steam the Fritters
- Form small balls from the mixture, then flatten them into small patties or fingers. Steam the fritters in a steamer or idly cooker for about 10-12 minutes until slightly firm.
Fry and Serve
- Once steamed, let the fritters cool slightly. Cut them into finger shapes. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the fritter pieces until they turn golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Fritters
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red chili powder or garam masala to the batter.
- If you don't have an idly cooker, you can also pan-fry the fritters directly, but they may not be as light and airy.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These fritters are best enjoyed fresh!
