Can I use kale powder instead of spinach powder?
Yes, but color and flavor will differ.

Note: Spinach powder gives a vibrant green color and adds a mild spinach flavor. Make sure to use it sparingly to avoid overpowering the flavor of the chickpeas. While they look more yellow than green in the photo, they do have a green tint to them when done.
