Kale and Potato Curry

4 red or yellow potatoes (unpeeled), chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

6 leaves kale, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tomato, chopped

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Put the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover by an inch or two, and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat, add the onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and salt, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft. Stir in the tomato and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes longer, until it breaks down. Stir in the kale and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer, until tender.
