This was a surprise side effect of a side effect.. Lets see, I'd made some potato filling for Aloo paratha & converted the excess filling into vada's for an afternoon snack of vada Pao (http://www.food52.com/recipes/10825_street_side_vada_pao). & then there was some extra batter left over which i did not have the heart to throw away. So out came a couple of leaves of my current vegetable obsession, viz Kale (for which I owe Food52 a BIG thank you, -- prior to seeing recipes on this site, I had not even paid attention to kale, leave alone ever sampled it.), washed & cut into a rough chiffonade, tossed into the batter & dropped into hot oil. mmm, the perfect antidote for a chilly fall evening with a cup of spiced tea. .. And those vadas? oh yeah they've been bagged, tagged & tossed into the freezer.
