Recipe Summary Indian Kale With Chickpeas

This is a delicious way to cook kale if you are running out of ideas, and it goes great with Indian dishes like dal. Make sure not to overcook the greens!

Ingredients | Indian Sag

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

1 onion, finely chopped

1 red chile pepper, seeded and sliced

1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

1 pinch ground cinnamon

1 pinch sea salt

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 cup roughly chopped kale, or more to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add onion and chile pepper; saute until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chickpeas, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt; saute for 5 minutes. Pour in a splash of water, followed by lemon zest and juice. Season further to taste if desired.

Fold kale into the mixture until just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

Cook's Notes:

You can use a green chile pepper instead of red if preferred.

Feel free to substitute spinach, chard, or other greens for kale if you like.
