PALAK VADA

 Palak Vada is a very nice and flavourful tea time snack. The recipe I am sharing with you is a local snack or a breakfast dish from my Vidarbha Region. I have grown up having this so many times for breakfast. This dish is served locally in restaurants and also we make it at home. 

This dish is loaded with iron rich spinach and also onions and some common spices thats available in our kitchen. Palak Vada can simplified as Double Deep Fried Spinach And Onion Fritters. 

This dish is easy to make and can be made for breakfast, evening or tea time snack. We also like to have it for brunch. I highly recommend you all making this dish at home and I am very much sure you all will love it.
