Oats Spinach Pakoda | Oats Palak Pakoda

Pakoda's are one of the street foods from India and these are deep fried fritters usually enjoyed during cool,rainy day or at teatime. Pakoda are made with one or more veggies (Onion,Spinach, Eggplant, Potato, Beetroot Pakoda, chillies and so on) and occasionally made with chicken, fish and bread. 
I love oats in any form and today i am using Oats in pakoda. Oats gives an extra crunchiness to pakoda and making pakoda's bit of healthier version.I love crunchy texture of pakoda so added less water and flour(if you like the soft pakoda's then add little bit more water and flour to the quantities given). 
Oats Spinach Pakoda is an adopted recipe as part of #InterblogChallenge theme of #foodiemonday from my very good friend Rupal.  This Inter blog Challenge is trying out friends recipe from their blog, but who will choose whose was a big question as everyone was excited to do this challenge and finally we went with a way of selecting numbers which was created by Krithika one among the talented blogger. I was happy to get Rupal, rather to say i would be happy to do others too. Rupal has done very nice fusion recipes on her blog called goodfoodgoodmoodbyrupal. I loved her  Oats Spinach Pakode , Puri-Bhaji Spring Rolls, Dhokla Samosa and many more, but i have chosen a rather easy recipe because of time constraint, and it was loved by my love and elder princess.
