Ingredients
Scale
- 50 fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp chicken or mushroom stock powder (optional, for flavor)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 200 ml water (about 3/4 cup)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, stock powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the water, stirring until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Heat the oil: In a frying pan, pour enough cooking oil to submerge the spinach leaves. Heat the oil over medium heat until it’s hot (test by dropping a small bit of batter in; it should sizzle and rise to the top).
- Dip and fry: Dip each spinach leaf into the batter, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Gently place the coated leaf into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Drain the excess oil: Once fried, remove the spinach chips from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Repeat: Continue frying the remaining spinach leaves in batches until all are cooked and crispy.
- Serve: Enjoy your crispy spinach chips on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice!
Notes
- Adjust the seasoning to taste by adding more salt or spices.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding cayenne pepper to the batter.
