Method:

Mix all the dry ingredients together with 5ml salt in a large bowl.

Chop the onion and the spinach very finely and add to the dry ingredients.

Make a well in the centre of the ingredients. Add the egg and 375ml water to the well. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the centre. Mix until smooth.

Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Once it is hot, add spoonfuls of the batter. Deep-fry until crisp. To test if they are done, cut one in half and make sure the middle is dry.
