These crisp and golden brown Onion & Spinach Pakoras are a delicious savoury start to any Indian-themed dinner party. They look fabulous and taste even better. A very popular Indian appetizer, especially in the North, Pakoras are often bought from street vendors who serve them steaming hot wrapped in a newpaper cone. Crisp and golden brown on the outside with a soft fragrant interior of finely chopped spinach, onions, fresh grated ginger, green chillies and an intoxicating combination of aromatic spices, the pakoras are blended together in a fine chickpea flour batter and flash fried at the last minute for an easy and outrageously delicious appetizer fit for a Maharajah. Onion & Spinach Pakoras Makes 12-16 pakoras 1 cup fresh spinach 1 cup chickpea flour 1 medium size onion, finely chopped 1-inch ginger, finely grated 1 green chili, seeded and finely chopped 1 tsp ground fennel seed 1/4 tsp red chili powder 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp cumin a pinch of asafoetida 2 tbsp sesame seeds 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup ice cold water, and more if necessary salt to taste oil for deep frying Remove the stems from the spinach. Wash, dry and finely chop. Add all the onion, ginger, green chili and all of the spices to the flour and mix well. Add 1/2 cup of ice cold water to make a fluffy smooth batter. Sprinkle the baking powder over this paste and mix lightly. Set aside for 15- 20 minutes. Heat oil for deep frying, until a drop of pakora mixture instantly floats to the top. Don’t let the oil smoke. Drop teaspoon-sized amounts of pakora mix into the oil until the surface is covered. Using a teaspoon gives a dumpling shape to the pakora, whereas dropping the dough from your fingers gives a more delicate, interesting shape. Stir and turn the pakora until they are lightly golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Recipe video above. It's impossible to resist devouring golden fried halloumi straight from the pan, when it's crispy on the surface and gooey inside. And why should we? It's so great plain! But one day, try it with a drizzle of honey and sprinkle of thyme. It is Outrageously Delicious (caps intentional) and a 2-second-way to dress up halloumi when you've got company.Serve with warm pita bread, olives, and a good olive oil for a simple yet thoroughly enjoyable starter.Tip: Handle the slices carefully so they hold together (there is a partial crack in the middle of halloumi blocks).

This recipe is featured in our Recipe of the Day Newsletter. Sign up for it here to have our test kitchen-approved recipes delivered to your inbox! I'm a bit of a restaurant snob, self-admittedly. I love to eat, but I also love to cook so if I’m going to drop a pretty penny on a dinner out, it better be worth it. Since moving to the suburbs, it’s gotten even trickier to find a restaurant that I deem worth the schlep (often with a toddler in tow) and better than our standard chopped-style “WTF are we having for dinner” meals I miraculously pull out of thin air on the daily. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not tooting my own horn. Those meals often take the form of a humble egg sandwich or some version of 10 minute lettuce wraps, but at least I know those are tasty and will be made with wholesome ingredients. That all changes when I cross over the Bourne Bridge (same goes for the Whitestone Bridge, but that’s a restaurant story for a different day!). When I’m on the Cape Water Street Kitchen in Woods Hole, MA is a must-visit. They have a seasonally inspired menu, gorgeous views, amazing cocktails, funky wines and a familiar atmosphere that makes putting in the effort to go out truly worth it. I’ve never had a dish I didn’t like there, but the menu item that is always top of my list this the Radish Butter served with warm homemade Sourdough. At 5 bucks, I can say it’s the best money I ever spent. It’s creamy, salty, crunchy and a tad bit spicy from the fresh locally-grown radishes. It’s my philosophy on cooking and eating in a nutshell (or butter dish); use quality ingredients and prepare them simply. This radish butter is my ode to Water Street! It certainly is not the same without the view, or fresh ocean air but it comes pretty close! I’ll probably whip up a batch for dinner the next time my husband suggests we hit the local average pizza joint. Recipe and Headnote Molly Adams
