Wash all greens under running water. Sift flours to remove any lumps. Add baking powder & dry spices to flour, mix well. Add rest of ingredients and cold water to make a thick batter. Heat oil in a flat bottomed pan on medium to hot heat. Take tablespoons of the mix and gently add it to the hot oil until pan is full. Allow to sizzle and cook. With a long handled spoon, flip the bhajias to cook evenly to a golden brown. Adjust heat if necessary. Use a long handled spoon with slots to remove bhajias from hot oil. Allow excess oil to drip. Lay bhajias onto paper towels to absorb oil. Serve with your favorite hot or cold drinks with sauces and dips on the side.
