Pakoray (Fritters) are eaten in almost every Pakistani house and are found in all food shops. Pakoray are made with the combination of Chickpea flour, water, salt, red pepper powder, baking soda and any vegetable or cooked chicken etc.

The secret of good pakoray is, a pinch of soda (varies with the quantity of chickpea flour) and properly heated oil. Pakoray are best when deep fried.

Palak pakoray are made with spinach leaves. You can also chop the leaves if you like but i prefer making with the whole leaf.
