Method

* Wash, chop, and pat dry the spinach leaves.

* Assemble all the ingredients in a bowl (except oil). Slowly add water to form a soft dough. Not much water is required to bind this dough. So, add water slowly. If the dough feels sticky add an extra tablespoon of flour and mix.

* Heat oil in a pan. Grease a platform.

* Roll a ball out of the dough. Singhara flour (water chestnut flour) is a gluten-free flour and like regular flour, it doesn’t have the same elasticity. It can’t be rolled like wheat flour instead it needs to be patted with hands to give it a shape.

* Grease your fingers and start spreading the dough.

* Spread the dough into a circle.

* Use a cutter to cut small rounds out of this circle.

* The other way to make papdi would be to make small dough balls and flatten them in between your palms.

* Remove the extra dough and all that is left is small disc-shaped rounds. Use a fork to prick small holes in the dough to prevent puffing.

* Deep fry the wafers/papdi over medium flame.

* Secret to crunchy papdis/wafers is to fry them longer on a medium-low flame until brown and crispy. Can these be baked? Yes, they can be baked too.

* Bake @375 degrees for 9-10 minutes (or until crispy) turning midway through cooking.

* Store at room temperature in an airtight container. Read notes above.

* Or serve them hot with a cup of hot tea.
