Spinach Bajjis look perfect Sushma. Just a hot cup of tea is what you need to go with them. Good share.

Lovely ! Ghese pakoras look so nice and crisp . The addition of rice flour makes them crisp ! I normally turn these into a chat , with dahi , Chutney and spices .

AWesome bhajiyas. My family is just drooling over all the fried snacks and giving me looks that I skipped making so many varieties :)
