1. Steam the washed spinach for 1 minute until wilted, drain in a colander and when cool squeeze out the water with your hands. Chop roughly and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, olive oil, chopped onion & chillies. Add the spinach, spices and egg yolks, milk and chopped parsley, as well as salt and pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture.
4. Heat a nonstick frying pan with a little oil and drop in spoonfuls of the spinach mix and fry for a couple of minutes until golden on each side. You should get 3 or 4 in your pan at a time. Cook the rest in batches and keep warm in a low oven.
