Makes 3 servings

Active Time: 20 minutes 

Total Time: 30 minutes 

Step 1

Rinse and drain the chickpeas. In a pot, combine the chickpeas, simmer sauce, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are soft and creamy, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. Rinse and chop the kale, removing any tough stems. Slice 3 cloves of garlic, if using. Pick a handful mint, toss the stems, and tear the leaves.

Step 3

Remove the flatbread from the packaging, but leave it on the cardboard. Sprinkle lightly with water. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons melted butter, scatter with the garlic, and season with a pinch of salt. Slide the flatbread from the cardboard directly onto the oven rack and bake until the garlic is lightly toasted and the bread is soft and warm, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut into triangles or strips and keep warm.

Step 4

When the curry is ready, add the kale leaves and cook until tender and soft, 5 minutes longer. Add a splash of water, if necessary, if the curry gets too thick. Season to taste with salt.

Step 5

Ladle the curry into bowls, add a dollop of yogurt, and scatter with the torn mint. Serve warm, with the garlicky flatbread for dipping.
