Directions
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven, over medium heat. Sweat the onions for 10 minutes or until translucent. Once softened, add the garlic, ginger and curry powder, and cook for 30 seconds, allowing to bloom.
Add in the sun-dried tomatoes. If you want a bit of heat in the background, add in a pinch of chili flakes.
Add in the chickpeas and stir. Allow chickpeas to fry for 2-3 minutes to add in colour. Add in kale and allow to wilt.
Add in coconut milk, lime juice and zest. Taste.
