The word 'Pakoda' sounds like heaven - especially in this weather that passes for winter in the city of Mumbai. I guess a pakoda cannot be truly called a pakoda if it is not deep fried. That said, strips of spinach and a bit of some cooked rice do give it a bit of a healthy touch. Easy on the 'weight-watching' conscious, huh? BTW, this dish was demonstrated in a cookery show called 'Amhi Sare Khawayye' on Zee Marathi.
Here's the photo:
And here's the recipe.
Cut the spinach leaves in strips - not too finely. Add to it cooked rice (leftover rice will do nicely). Just keep the amount of spinach more than that of rice so that the pakodas turn crispy rather than soggy.
Add finely chopped green chillies, baking soda, black salt, rice flour and little water. Knead thoroughly and make small balls. Deep fry them into oil.
Serve hot with ketchup or chutney of your choice.
