  • Bring a pot of water to the boil & put the kale in for about 3 mins

  • In the meantime, sift the gram flour with the spices into a large bowl & add salt & pepper

  • Strain the kale & run under cold water until it’s cool enough to handle, then squeeze out the excess water, squashing the kale leaves into a compact ball

  • Shred the kale while in the ball & then separate it out by pulling it apart with your hands

  • Slowly add the milk in to the flour & spices whisking to make a smooth runny batter then stir in the kale

  • LEVEL UP by chucking in some crumbled feta here if you fancy!

  • Heat a pan with a little oil to medium high & separate the batter into 4 in the bowl

  • Spoon each portion into the pan and flatten to make your fritter shapes

  • Cook for 3-5 mins each side until golden brown

Serve on top of mashed sweet potato with fried/poached eggs on top and tomato chutney on the side for a tasty time
