Add chopped spinach, the tablespoon of bengal gram and mix it well.Heat Figaro pure olive oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat. Take approximately one tablespoon of the keerai vadai mixture in your hands. Try and make it as round as possible.Flatten the keerai vadai lightly and drop it into the hot oil and fry it till it is golden and crisp.
