Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing and drying the kale and spinach leaves. Remove any tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
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.
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.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Once the oil is hot, dip a few kale and spinach leaves into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
Carefully drop the coated leaves into the hot oil, frying them in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
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.
Continue the process until all the leaves are fried.
Season the fried greens with additional salt, if desired, and serve immediately while crispy and warm.
