Masala Kale Chips
Visiting the Oakville Organic Farmers’ Market I picked up some kale anticipating to make a salad or wilted greens. After chatting at the market about kale chips, I got home craving them and made savoury, spicy Masala Kale Chips–almost immediately!
Come by Oakville's Organic Farmers' Market, Saturdays 9-1pm for some great local and organic produce.
Love them as chips!

I knew kale was packed with good stuff since its loaded with chlorophyll, but I didn’t realize its calcium content exceeds dairy products and is an amazing source of vitamins A and C.
To my delight, kale chips spiced with Arvinda’s Madras Masala is one of the easiest ways to get some greens! Kale + turmeric…you cannot go wrong!
This is one of the best ways to eat kale in my opinion! {Kale + masala = what a winning combo!}

Hello Tye,
Thank you for trying the Masala Kale chips recipe and for your feedback! The masala makes eating kale chips so easy (and addictive I might add!).
Hi Preena….I’d like to try a few of your recipes, and have garam masala already but which spice blend might be a good all purpose one to try next?
Arvinda’s Curry Masala (medium blend) or Arvinda’s Madras Masala (medium-hot). These two blends can be used interchangeably. Hope that helps!
Hi Preena, i am a newbie on this blog. Since we have moved out of T.O., i find searching for certain ingredients…uh, a challenge..to say the least. I would dearly love to try my hand at making some Indian dishes and i was wondering which spice blend would be the best to start out with?
Dear Wendy, thank you for tuning into our blog! Most of our recipes use Arvinda’s Curry Masala ~ which is a well-rounded blend suitable for vegetable dishes and lentils. If your palate can handle more heat and flavour, try Arvinda’s Madras Masala which is our medium-hot blend. Hope you can try it and please let us know your thoughts!
Preena, this looks great! I’ll have to try this sometime.
Thanks Brian! Cute pic of baby by the way!
Hope to see you guys this weekend!
Kale is so healthy, it’s great and very welcome to see new ways of enjoying it.
Indeed it is – adding Indian spices to the kale makes it VERY easy and tasty to eat – bring on the greens!
