Instructions
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Peel and slice the onion and add to the pan. Peel and crush the garlic, finely chop the ginger and chillis and add to the pan. Cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften.
Trim the pepper and cut into large chunks. Add to the pan with the curry powder.
Peel the potato and cut into cubes. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add both to the pan with the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes until the potato is cooked through.
Remove any tough stalks from the kale and chop roughly. Stir through the curry along with the peanut butter. Cook for a further minute until the kale has just wilted.
Season to taste, and add a splash more water if the curry has become too thick. Scatter with chopped coriander and peanuts and serve.

Notes
Make this curry as spicy as you like - leave in the seeds of the chilli (or use three!), and/or use hot curry powder if you like it really spicy, and leave out the chilli and use mild curry powder if you don't.Remember to adjust the consistency of the curry before serving - if it has become too thick, stir through a splash of water, and if it is too runny keep bubbling off the liquid for another minute or two.
