Chef Atul Kochhar's Chickpea and Kale Curry

Chickpea and spinach curry is quite a common dish in India, but as I had some kale handy I decided to devise this version - and I have to say, I'm very pleased with the result. I hope you will be, too.
You can replace the water with vegetable or chicken stock, if you want, but it's really not necessary. This is a quick-and-easy curry, and one of those dishes I would just put in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves. This recipe is vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Awesome, love how you cook in an actual kitchen instead of a set.

[@MrFlyingguy]

what a lovely chap! humble and concise... thank you for sharing with us.! wow

[@molmks]

Love the way you explain it all 6 minutes. Superb

[@imThefirelfy]

Lovely! This is clear and easy to follow. Seems very delicious too. Gonna try this for sure. And this might be irrelevant but Chef Atul is perhaps the neatest, cleanest chef I’ve seen! Not a thing out of place! His hair, his spotless ceaseless shirt, and the kitchen equipment. Just, wow.

[@carmenmartinez6191]

I love, love this dish, I will make it over and over for life. And so healthy! Thank you.

[@lakshmi9113]

Chef Atul, I have failed several attempts to incorporate kale in my cooking. Your dish has inspired me to try once sgain. Thsnk you.

[@anirbankanungoe8020]

Your dishes are absolutely amazing

You are absolutely phenomenal to watch and listen to - I made the dal makhani last night from your childhood- after that my daughter said she will eat any of your recipes; any time. She trusts you😁

[@vivrozario9202]

I just prepared dal makhani using your recipe and trust me this is by far the best dish i ever prepared.

[@CHINUXXL120]

I was watching your video of yours from the UK Food Network and you were the first chef to explain why you should at Gram masal near the end of the cooking time of the dish thank you so much for sharing your Knowledge

[@zee687]

Amazing chef..love your videos

[@aplaceinthestars3207]

Really good- the fresh ginger and lemon juice at the end were pretty different from my usual chickpea curry recipes and gave it a fresh POW! By my usual standards for curry, it's incredibly fast and easy. I could even eat it cold, and it makes a great leftover because kale can take a nuking.

[@aaronmarko]

I don't love to eat kale either but I appreciate how you incorporated it.

[@christined70]

Thank you Chef, it's is fantastic recipe

I can't eat kale or chickpeas with my bowel adhesions and IBS, but I do eat and make curry, mild ones, and I love his simple, relaxed style, no tantrums or drama, very watchable chap. The spice box is beautiful, makes them look like a paint palette, puts my jars and packets to shame!

[@ankitg6454]

Lol. This is definitely not how Indians make their dish. This is some bastardized version of Indian cooking

[@jujharsingh8128]

Just cooked this with some blanched broccoli instead as had no kale left. It was dope.

[@kongkapassah8485]

For me, I'd love to try this out coz I prefer less spicy, simple vegan food except for the canned peas😊. I prefer to soak it overnight and boil it.... No processed foods for me😊

Atul, Love your style of cooking. You're one of the few chefs on the net who don't taste their own cooking. Is that the secret of your fitness (lol)? Keep up the good work.

[@enthusiasticasian6189]

Haha that's true.He just cooks without any drama which is great!

[@poonamabbi7448]

You know, in the Hindu culture, we believe a good cook NEVER TASTES his food... he/she just knows, & those who taste ar not good cooks. I used to see the elders of our homes never tasted while cooking. Even today meny do not taste. It is considered rude & unhygeinic.

[@Qlicky]

@Ronald S I dont see a point in tasting the food you prepare for the purpose of making a video, its just something viewers like to see. Seasoned or not, he can just go: "this is perfectly seasoned" and we would know fuck all about how it actually tastes. There is no point really. Just like there is no point in reviewing sound speakers when you cannot let your audience hear the sound they produce. The point of food recipes is in technique, its how you make the dish blend, whether you like it more salty, tangy, sweet or spicy is up to you. On another note, Im pretty sure if you prepare food for living you pretty much know what something tastes like just by experience.

[@ritawing1064]

Lovely: spanish cooking also pairs chickpeas with spinach and, latterly, kale. More vegan recipes, please!

[@suvigyagoel3496]

Rita Wing you can just type indian recipes and they are all going to be nearly vegan. All you might have to do is replace Ghee or Paneer with suitable substitute if they were being used in the recipes.

I would like to point out that people of subcontinent are criticising this recipe but all other people are loving this. One thing people from subcontinent should understand that he got his Michelin star as he catered to the palates of westerners in his restaurant by twisting the recipe to suit them.

[@chandrachurdatta5844]

Also, Only people from subcontinent knows how fraud these dishes are.

[@thecsslife]

I'm not from subcontinent but I grew up in the UK in an area with a lot of Indian immigrants so had the opportunity to taste a lot of the food and learn to cook myself. This recipe is dog-shit.
