Best 6 Curried Chickpeas Kale Recipes

15-MINUTE CHICKPEA CURRY WITH KALE

Steps:

• Combine the plant milk and peanut butter in a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to briefly mix them together. They don't need to be completely mixed. Place the bowl near your stove.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger. Stir until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the curry powder and garam masala. Stir to mix well to form a paste with the other ingredients. Cook the spice paste until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes.
• Add the plant milk and peanut butter mixture. Stir well with a spatula to integrate the paste and liquid as thoroughly as possible.
• When the liquid reaches a gentle boil, add the chickpeas. Stir well to coat the chickpeas with the sauce. Stir occasionally for the next 2 minutes or so, until the chickpeas are heated through.
• Stir in the kale. Stir occasionally until the kale leaves are wilted but still a vibrant green color. It's important not to overcook the kale because that will make it bitter.
• Add salt (and nutritional yeast and Japanese seven-spice, if using)
• Serve immediately.
