Prepare 250 g cooked spinach. This is fine done the day before.

Stage 5

... until thoroughly and evenly mixed.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Meanwhile finely chop Tarragon and Fresh coriander (cilantro) .

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

Pour 150 g Greek yoghurt into a bowl, salt lightly, pepper generously, then add the herbs and mix well, preferably with a whisk.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 30 min.

... and put to fry in the hot oil.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

Stage 11

Serve without delay, while hot. Place both dishes in the centre of the table where everyone can help themselves to fritters and dip them in the dressing.

Remarks

If you can't find chickpea (gram) flour, never mind, just use normal flour, and add a little curry powder to retain the Indian feel.

Use a yoghurt that's thick and slightly sharp like "greek-style" if possible.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
