Cut the lime and squeeze the juice into a bowl with the chopped dashing bush leaves.

Wash the dashing bush leaves and squeeze out the water after about 10 minutes.

Add the ground down (spinach) to the bowl.

Mix with your hands to incorporate.

Add the grated garlic, turmeric, baking soda, chia seeds, salt, and sugar to the mixture.

Add water gradually to achieve a thick batter consistency.

Let the batter sit for about 30 to 45 minutes until it doubles in size, covering it with plastic wrap or a paper towel.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over high heat.

Test the oil temperature before frying.

Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side, flipping carefully.

Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
