I wanted to recreate this appetizer but make it more accessible to those who may not want to deal with the fuss of frying with hot oil! So I present to you my oven-baked crispy kale chaat, which is very much inspired by Rasika’s palak chaat, but is much healthier because it is baked instead of fried. Crispy curly kale in the center surrounded by Indian sauces and fresh veggies. Don’t omit the soaking process of your potato crisps. I recommend leaving them for at least 30 minutes but you can leave them for a couple of hours before rinsing your potato slices. In a large bowl, add your kale and evenly drizzle 1 Tbs of olive oil to coat. Use your hands to massage the kale with oil to really infuse the kale with oil. If you do choose to use bagged kale, make sure to go through the bag of kale and remove any tough stems that may be present. In addition, keep a watchful eye when the kale is in the oven because the bagged kale will likely crisp faster than the fresh kale since they are smaller in size. Sauces for this Chaat Add the kale to the pan with 2 tablespoons of water and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale has wilted slightly, is bright green and has some bite to it.
