A friend sent me this recipe:

This kale is worth making. Not a scrap left after last night. It is from Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Bible.

Two and a half pounds of kale sliced very thinly

One tomato sliced

One med onion in thin slices

One tablespoon crushed garlic

One tablespoon fresh ginger grated

3/4 tsp turmeric

1 1/4 tsp cayenne

1 1/2 tsp salt.

All in wok on med high heat, add 120 ml water (1/2 cup), simmer, covered, for ten minutes, then increase heat to high, open lid, and add 4 tablespoons oil to stir fry for last couple of minutes.

I made a smaller quantity (1 bunch of kale weighed about 380 g), and it was absolutely delicious. I may have converted the cayenne incorrectly as it was extremely spicy, but we also ate it all.

We were good friends at school but lost touch with each other when we both left South Africa, though we both tried to find each other. We reconnected though a school reunion (the **th (redacted)), and have been in email contact almost daily every since. It's so good to be back in touch with her.

 
I love kale! How far does the tomato break down? I'm not a fan of cooked tomato, generally.

But if it doesn't add too much to the dish, I could always omit, I guess.

 
It doesn't break down completely, but I sliced mine very fine,

so there wasn't a discernible tomato taste. You could probably leave it out without a problem.
