### Ingredients:
- **For the batter:**
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1/4 cup rice flour (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
- A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
- Salt to taste
- Water (as needed to make a thick batter)
- 1 tablespoon hot oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

- **For the pakodas:**
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 potato, thinly sliced or grated
- 1 cup spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (optional)
- Oil for deep frying

### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Batter:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour (if using), turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, ajwain, asafoetida, and salt.
2. Gradually add water while whisking to form a thick, smooth batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. Add hot oil to the batter for extra crispiness and mix well.

2. **Prepare the Vegetables:**
1. Add the sliced onions, potatoes, spinach leaves, green chilies, and coriander leaves to the batter. Mix well to ensure all the vegetables are well-coated with the batter.

3. **Frying the Pakodas:**
1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Once the oil is hot (you can test by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the top), carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated vegetables into the oil.
3. Fry the pakodas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to cook evenly.
4. Remove the pakodas using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

4. **Serving:**
- Serve the hot pakodas with chutney (such as mint chutney or tamarind chutney) or tomato ketchup.

Enjoy your homemade pakodas!
