Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 can 400 ml coconut milk
  • 2 cups spinach or kale
  • 4 eggs optional for added protein
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Start by washing and chopping the vegetables: dice the bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes. Rinse the spinach or kale and set aside.

Sauté the Aromatics:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil (olive or coconut). Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until translucent.

Add Garlic and Spices:

  • Stir in minced garlic (1-2 cloves) and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then, add the cumin, coriander, and chili powder, stirring for another minute to release the flavors.

Incorporate the Vegetables:

  • Add the diced tomatoes and bell peppers to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the veggies to soften.

Pour in the Coconut Milk:

  • Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Add Greens:

  • Gently fold in the spinach or kale, letting it wilt down in the warm curry.

Poach the Eggs (Optional):

  • If using eggs, crack them directly into the simmering curry. Cover the pan and let them poach for about 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the curry with fresh cilantro. Serve hot, alongside steamed rice or naan for a complete meal.
