    No need to blanch the spinach? I would prefer not to, but many places mention using blanched spinach. Thanks

    Auntie, can one make puris without wheat flour? What could I substitute as my son needs a gluten-free diet?
    Thank you for your wonderful recipes!

    How does besan flour help in palak puris? Is it ok if I don’t add this flour?
