Easy Kale Pakoras Recipe to be made as a side snack or tea time snack. What are Kale leaves??? Kale also known as Borecole is a vegetable purple or green in color and belongs to the cabbage family. You don’t get Kale leaves in India however you get them easily on Green Tokri if you order them online. My sister had ordered these lovely Kale leaves and I am thankful to her as I made these yummy and healthy Kale pakoras 🙂

Kale Pakora Recipe (6)

Kale leaves are used worldwide and known for it’s special benefits. They are used in salads, mashed potatoes, in curries, stew and even as baked kale chips which is very popular. Kale leaves are rich in carotene, vitamins, minerals, fights cancer and rich in calcium.

Kale leaves tastes somewhat like fenugreek leaves but is not very strong flavored like fenugreek leaves. Hence I thought of making pakoras as I love fenugreek pakora. We loved the kale pakoras they were crisp, yum and healthy at the same time. My hubby also liked it but he wasn’t aware what it’s made from 😉 that’s what mission accomplished.
