These air-fried chickpea and spinach fritters are a fresh, lighter spin on the traditional Indian pakoras we all love. Bursting with plant-based protein, vibrant greens, and a medley of spices, they provide that satisfying crunch without the heaviness of deep frying. So, whether you're throwing a party or simply in need of a nutritious snack, these fritters are the perfect choice since they are easy to prepare, wholesome, and downright delicious.
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, spices, and salt. Gradually add water to achieve a thick batter consistency. Then, mix in the mashed chickpeas, chopped spinach, onion, garlic, and chilli. Stir until everything is evenly coated and forms a thick batter that holds together.

Shape the fritters
With your hands or a small scoop, mould those patties to roughly 1½ inches in width. Once you’ve shaped them, place them on a plate.

Air-Fry
First things first, brush a little oil on the bottom of your air fryer to stop those patties from sticking. Next, place the patties in a single layer and give them a quick brush with oil. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Air-fry them for about 7 to 9 minutes, then flip them over and cook for another 7 to 9 minutes until they’re nice and crispy with a golden finish.
