CRISPY SPICED KALE
This was the result of a happy mistake. My intention was to make a pakora, a sort of kale fritter, but when I spooned my mixture into the hot oil it fell apart. What I got were irresistible, crispy, battered pieces of chopped kale. The spicy chips beat any kale chips I've ever made in the oven. Serve as a side dish or as a snack; I can't imagine children not liking this.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine kale, scallions, spices and salt.
- In another bowl whisk together chickpea flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder. Whisk in the sparkling water. Mixture should have consistency of thick cream. Scrape into bowl with kale mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Pour oil into a wok or wide saucepan to a depth of 3 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 360 to 375 degrees. Set up a sheet pan with a rack on it next to the pan. Cover the rack with a few layers of paper towels. Have a spider or deep fry skimmer handy for removing the kale from the oil.
- Take up the kale mixture by the heaped tablespoon and carefully slide into the hot oil. The mixture should break apart into small pieces. Fry until golden, which shouldn't take much more than a minute, using the spider to flip the pieces over or press them down into the oil once so that all of the batter gets crisped. Using the spider, remove from the oil, allowing excess oil to drip back into the pan, and drain on the towel-covered rack. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Allow to cool slightly and serve.
