BM # 27 Day 21
Seasonal : Summer
The food habits change with the season. Summers , one just likes to drink loads of butter milk or lemon juice to beat the heat. I like to eat all chilled stuff, like salads, dahiwads, chaats…
Paalak Dahiwadas are really unique and they taste fantastic.My sister in law is an expert with these and we have them very regularly…even store them in the deep freeze!
I like any dahiwadas with that sweet tamarind and date chutney..friends, whenever you serve these make sure to add some to them.
These turn out super soft if you do not add too much flour.The idea of adding flour is to bind, so use bare minimum..and they will turn out melt in the mouth kinds.
To add that extra pep, do not get lazy to garnish!!

500 gms spinach, picked, washed and chopped finely
2 tbsp gram flour
2-3 green chillies, finely chopped
