Gradually add water to the mixture, being careful not to add too much at once to avoid making it too runny.

Prepare the fenugreek leaves by removing the stems and chopping them finely, then add them to the mixture.

Add chopped spinach, green garlic, and green onions to the batter.

Mix everything well until combined, ensuring the batter is thick but not runny.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan until hot.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the fritters until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

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

Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.
