Let it cook for a minute and then add the water, chicken broth, and corn meal. Mix until the corn meal is totally dissolved.
Add the salt and kale and stir consistently until the water is boiling.
Turn the heat to low and let it cook for about half an hour while stirring occasionally until the cornmeal thickens.

Fry them a couple at a time until they are golden brown and then once they are done place them on a platter with papers towels to dry.
Once they are all done, let them cool for 5 minutes and serve immediately.

I am from Alabama, and cornbread is a staple of the diet and I love it. Can you tell me the name of corn meal here in Portugal? I see a couple of different kinds and don't know which to use. Thanks Robert
