(VEG) Red Swiss Chard Batter Fry


For the ingredients you need:

- Fresh Swiss Chard (washed thoroughly and then cut into uniformly sized pieces).
- We need to make batter with chick peas powder, a pinch of salt, a pinch of asafoetida, a pinch of baking soda, half teaspoon of fennel seeds (use "ajwain" seeds if possible) and water to mix. The consistency should be like pancake batter.

Heat oil hot. Dip the chard pieces into the batter and put into the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan. Fry them golden brown and serve immediately.

TIP: you can use pancake batter to fry the leaves. Make sure you shake out the excess batter before frying.
Try it with lettuce leaves too. Equally delicious!
