10 min prep 25 min cook 35 min total 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 yellow onion (diced
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 15 oz. cans chickpeas (drained
  • 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 13 1/2 oz. can coconut milk (full-fat
  • 4 oz. kale $0.62***)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all of your ingredients. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Chop the kale if you're not using pre-chopped.

  2. 2

    Add the curry powder and cumin to a dry, large deep skillet over medium-low. Stir and cook for about one minute to toast the spices.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet along with the olive oil. Sauté the aromatics for about five minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.

  4. 4

    Drain the chickpeas, then add them to the skillet along with the tomato sauce and coconut milk. Stir everything to combine.

  5. 5

    Turn the heat up to medium-high to bring the sauce up to a simmer. Once simmering, turn the heat back down to medium-low and allow the curry to continue to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Add the kale and stir it into the sauce. Continue to cook and stir until the kale has wilted to your desired tenderness (I cook for about 5 minutes more). Finally, taste the curry and add salt to taste (about ½ tsp). Serve hot with rice or bread for dipping!
