About Palak Ke Patton Ki Vrat Wali Chat/ Spinach Leaves Chat
Delicious and crispy, this Palak Ke Patton Ki Vrat Wali Chat is a personal favorite, especially during fasting days when spinach becomes my go-to ingredient. Spinach is not only a healthy veggie, but its tender leaves also turn irresistibly crunchy when coated with singhade ka atta (water chestnut flour) and a sprinkle of mild spices before being deep-fried to perfection.
While chaat isn’t usually prepared during fasting, this spinach leaves chaat is a delightful exception. Served with whipped curd, tangy tamarind chutney, zesty green chutney, roasted cumin powder, and a dash of red chili powder, it creates a medley of flavors and textures. If you’re looking for a vrat-friendly snack that’s both nourishing and satisfying, this dish is sure to win your heart.

Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra crispiness, ensure the spinach leaves are completely dry before dipping them in the singhade ka atta batter; any moisture can prevent the batter from adhering and lead to soggy results.
- To add a nutty crunch, sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts or cashews (if allowed in your vrat) over the assembled chaat just before serving.
- If you prefer a less oily snack, you can shallow-fry the coated spinach leaves on a nonstick tawa with minimal oil, pressing them gently for even crisping.
- For a vibrant presentation, garnish the chaat with pomegranate seeds and finely chopped coriander, which will add bursts of color and a refreshing contrast to the spicy flavors.
