Mix well using your hand so the spices coat the vegetables and draw out their natural moisture. Prepare the Pakoda Mixture: To the seasoned vegetables, add 1 tsp crushed ginger-garlic-green chilli paste, ½ cup chopped spinach, 1 cup gram flour (besan), and ½ cup rice flour. Season with a bit more salt (to taste), ½ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp red chilli powder, ½ tsp cumin seeds, ½ tsp carom seeds (ajwain), and ¾ cup fresh chopped methi leaves. Mix everything thoroughly by hand without adding any water, squeezing gently until a thick, cohesive batter binds the vegetables. Fry the Pakodas: Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium flame. Once hot, drop small, bite-sized portions of the mixture into the oil. Fry on medium heat, turning occasionally, until the pakodas turn golden brown and crisp on all sides. Drain & Serve: Remove the fried pakodas using a slotted skimmer and drain them on paper towels. Repeat the frying process with the remaining mixture. Serve hot with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
