Ingredients
- 1 small bunch curly green or purple kale
- ½ cup gram flour/besan
- 1 teaspoon carom seeds
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder
- ⅓ cup water about 6 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon oil oil spray works best
Instructions
- Rinse kale. Remove the stems and then tear the leaves into 3 to 4-inch pieces. If you have a salad spinner, add kale to it to remove any excess moisture. Otherwise, use paper towels to dry them well.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 F.
- To a mixing bowl add gram flour, carom seeds salt, turmeric, garlic powder, and red chili powder. Add little bit water at a time and mix well to make a smooth batter paste.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil.
- Take one piece of kale and lightly dip it in the batter so that the curly ends get coated with the batter. Note: Do not completely dip the kale in the batter in the way traditional pakoras are made. Instead, dip the ends letting the batter cling to the curly edges. This ensures a lighter and crisper chip that is in no way doughy.
- Place in the preheated air fryer facing up the batter dipped ends. Repeat with the remaining kale until the air fryer basket is filled with a layer of kale. Lightly spray or brush oil on top.
- Air fry at 350 F for 5 to 7 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the kale is crispy. Take out the kale chips and repeat with the remaining kale.
