Ingredients
- 200 grams Kale leaves
- 200 grams Spinach leaves
- 100 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Corn flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 180 milliliters Water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing and drying the kale and spinach leaves. Remove any tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, corn flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon yet thin enough to easily coat the leaves.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, dip a few kale and spinach leaves into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Carefully drop the coated leaves into the hot oil, frying them in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Fry each batch for about 1-2 minutes or until the leaves are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Continue the process until all the leaves are fried.
Step 9
Season the fried greens with additional salt, if desired, and serve immediately while crispy and warm.
