Wash and prepare 300 grams of spring onions, removing the outer layer and ensuring no extra water remains.

Chop the spring onions into 1 to 1.5 inch thick pieces.

Crush 8 to 10 cloves of garlic and 2 green chilies together, ensuring they are not made into a paste.

In a large bowl, combine the chopped spring onions, crushed garlic, and green chilies.

Add 3/4 cup of rice flour and 2 tablespoons of gram flour to the bowl.

Season with 1 tablespoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, salt to taste, and 1 pinch of baking soda.

Mix all the ingredients together using your hands until well combined.

Gradually add water to the mixture to achieve a semi-thick batter, ensuring it is not runny or too thick.

Heat a cast iron pan and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of mustard oil, allowing it to heat up.

Once the oil is hot, reduce the flame to medium and drop spoonfuls (1 to 2 tablespoons) of the batter into the pan, avoiding smoothing the edges.

Cook the fritters on one side for 3 to 4 minutes, watching for small bubbles to form as an indicator of doneness.

Flip the fritters once they are golden brown and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until crispy.

Remove the fritters from the pan and serve hot with sauce or chutney.
