Methods for Spinach Chaat

1. Heat a small dry pan and add the cumin seeds. Toast over a medium heat for 2–4 minutes. Tip onto a plate and allow to cool. Place the tamarind purée, water, toasted cumin seeds, chilli powder, chaat masala, salt, and brown sugar (or jaggery) in a blender and blitz for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust to your desired sweetness.
2. Simply whisk together all the ingredients with 3 tablespoons water. Set aside, or refrigerate if making ahead.
3. Combine the gram flour, rice flour, chaat masala, chilli powder, salt, and ¼ cup water in a bowl and whisk. Now add the remaining ½ cup water and whisk the batter until smooth and free of lumps.
4. Heat the oil, about 7.5 cm (3 inches) deep in a wok or deep saucepan over medium-high heat. (Test the heat with a small drop of batter: if it falls to the bottom and pops up gradually, the oil is perfect; if the batter rises and browns too quickly the oil is too hot; and if the batter sinks and doesn’t rise, the oil is not hot enough.) Working in small batches to avoid overcrowding, dip the spinach leaves in the batter, then carefully lower the battered leaves into the pan in a single layer to cover the entire surface. (Be careful: the water content in the spinach may cause splattering.) Deep-fry for 2–3 minutes, using the spoon or skimmer to move the leaves around to prevent them from sticking together. Using the same tool, transfer the spinach to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
5. Repeat the process until all the leaves are fried, ensuring that the oil temperature is maintained at all times.
6. Transfer the deep-fried spinach to four plates. Drizzle 2 tablespoons each of sweet yogurt sauce and tamarind chutney over each plate. Garnish with the red onion
7. n, tomatoes and pomegranate seeds, if using. Serve immediately before the spinach becomes soggy.
