The candies are tamarind flavored, I think, and believe me they grow on you. I actually got addicted, bought 200 of them at Uwajimaya, then quickly discovered they make your breath smell funny if you eat too many. But man, it hurts so good.

I'll probably add a bit of baking powder to the batter (reporting back with the result), and now that you've pointed out how much moisture is left in the greens, I'm sure the mix will be wet enough. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.

I just double-checked the <a href="http://www.jemangelaville.com/2006/08/09/snack-attack-little-wild-greens-fritters/" rel="nofollow">recipe </a> from Modern Greek by Andy Harris and that is indeed the exact recipe (the only change I made was using 1 whole egg instead of 2 egg yolks). You might want to try adding a little baking powder (maybe 1 tsp or 1/2 tsp) -- I'd be really curious to how that works! Please let me know if you do try it. Oh and the greens are cooked in boiling water, so even with wringing them out a bit, they are still quite wet. That adds a lot of mositure to the mix. Thanks :) Hi Huffy:
