Ingredients
- 1/2teaspoon peanut oil
- 1medium Vidalia-style onionor red onions, chopped
- 1medium bell pepperchopped
- 1clove garlicminced
- 2teaspoons rogan josh seasoning
- 1/2teaspoon salt
- 16ounces diced fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 1/2cups collardsabout 2 medium leaves including stems
- 2tablespoons chickpea flouralso called garbanzo-bean flour or besan
Instructions
- Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, stir, and reduce heat to low. Pull or cut collard leaves from stems. Chop stems into 1/2-inch pieces and add to skillet. Cook for about 15 minutes until quite soft, stirring occasionally.
- Stack collard leaves and roll up like a cigar. Cut across to make thin ribbons and then once or twice lengthwise to cut ribbons into sections. When onions are beginning to turn golden at the edges, stir garlic and spices into onion mixture, spoon on diced tomatoes but not the tomato juice. Top with collard ribbons without stirring, cover, and cook on low for 5 minutes.
- Stir chickpea flour into reserved tomato juice. Stir this sauce into vegetable mixture, cover, and cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice to avoid burning. Don’t worry if it sticks a bit to the pan. When all vegetables are tender, taste and adjust seasonings.
- Serve Rogan Josh Vegetable Curry hot on a plate or in a bowl with garlic toast or roti. It would also be good over rice or quinoa or in a wrap. Choose gluten-free additions of course if needed.
Recipe Notes
- If you don’t have Rogan Josh seasoning, use curry powder instead with a pinch of cinnamon and cardamom.
- I used collards in this recipe, but beet greens or ruby chard would help it live up to its traditional name of “red juice stew.” Really any vegetables you enjoy in curries would be tasty in this dish.
- Use chickpea flour to thicken and enhance other juicy, savory dishes too. Just stir a tablespoon of chickpea flour into a quarter cup of room-temperature juice or broth from the recipe for every serving. Warm liquid could cause the flour to clump.
