Shaak Fritters or Shaker bora and plain rice

As very often I go to market so never miss the chance to pick something irregular at my home. A Saturday morning I made up my mind to go to market with husband just for a change. A old feeble man was sitting alone in market with his large stock of common and uncommon leafy vegetables. Surprised! I have found some really irregular items in his stock, many I do not know name exactly but sometimes in my childhood I had them . A bliss!
Pui Shaak
Palak
Thankuni
Gima

Bathua (lamb’s quarters)
Helencha
Kalmi shaak (water spinach)
Note Shaak
Lal Shaak
List goes on...
I have bought some of them  and already made up to make Bora/ fritters with some of those. 
here comes my Gima Shakker Bora. You can make it well with Palak/Pui leaves as well.

What You Need

2 cups Gima shaak washed, leaves separated
1 cup Besan / wheat flour
1/2 cup rice powder (Optional, it makes crispy)

1/2 tsp of Fennel seeds
1/2 tsp of Jeera / whole Corriander seeds
1/3 tsp Holud / Turmeric Powder
Salt
1/2 tsp Suji/Rava( Optional, it makes crispy)
2 KaNchalanka/ green chilli chopped


How I Did It

Mix all the above ingredients well with little amount of water

This batter consistency is not loose, its just moist to give shape with hand
Heat Oil in a Kadai/ frying pan
Give the mixture a shape of oval/ round as you wish with hand
Place each fritter in oil and fry both side until done.

Have this with plain rice and it really loving if you like authentic old Bengali touch food.
