  • Add the curry paste and chickpeas and fry, stirring frequently, until the chickpeas start to sizzle and get slightly brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Remove some chickpeas for garnish and set aside.

  • Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash the chickpeas – their starchiness will thicken the stew. Add the coconut milk and stock, scrapping up any bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your liking, 20-30 minutes. Stir in the greens and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
