Ingredients
  • 2-3 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion (Diced small.)
  • 4-5 cloves of fresh garlic (Minced.)
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp mild curry powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 can 8oz/227g tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 bunch of Swiss chard (Stalks separated from leaves and sliced thin. Leaves cut into strips..)
  • 3 jalapeño peppers (Diced small. Thai green chillies will work fine as well..)
  • 1 can 13.5oz/ 400ml coconut milk
  • 4-5 medium Russet potatoes (Peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces.)
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • fresh cilantro (Schiffonaded. For garnish.)
Instructions
  1. Use a deep skillet with a lid. Start by warming up the oil. Add diced onion and sauté until soft. Add all the spices, garlic, and ginger. Stir and let cook for about 30 sec. By this time, the spices will become fragrant, and garlic and ginger will melt into the base.
  2. Add tomato sauce, thinly sliced Swiss chard stalks, and small diced jalapeño peppers. Cook for about 5 min, or until stalks start to soften. Stir in coconut milk and water. Add diced potatoes and chickpeas. Stir, cover and let cook on low heat until potatoes are almost soft, about 10-15 min.
  3. Add Swiss chard leaves (sliced into strips). Stir the sauce, making sure all the leaves are submerged in it, and cover tightly with a lid. Let cook for an additional 3 min, or until the leaves are fully wilted. Let the dish cool a little before seasoning it with salt. Sprinkle with freshly shiffonaded cilantro.
