🍚 3 cups rice
🥚 5 eggs
💧 1 cup water
🌿 1⁄2 tsp coriander
🌱 1⁄2 tsp turmeric
🧅 1⁄2 tsp onion powder
🧄 1⁄2 tsp garlic powder
🌶️ 1⁄2 tsp paprika
🧂 1⁄2 tsp salt
🛢️ Neutral oil for frying

For the Dressing:
🥛 1 cup plain yogurt
🥄 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
🍋 1 tsp lime juice
🌿 1⁄4 tsp dill weed

Instructions

1- Prepare the Kale and Batter:

• Begin by preparing your kale. Ensure it is stemless, clean, and dry.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice, eggs, and water to form a batter.
• Add coriander, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well to integrate all spices evenly.
• Gently fold in the kale until all leaves are well coated with the batter.

2- Fry the Fritters:

• Heat a sufficient amount of neutral oil in a deep frying pan.
• Using a spoon or a small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the kale batter into the hot oil.
• Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, usually about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

3- Make the Dressing:

• In a medium bowl, combine plain yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, and dill weed.
• Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust lime juice or dill as preferred.

4- Serve:

• Serve the kale fritters hot with a generous drizzle of the yogurt-lime dressing or serve the dressing on the side as a dip.
