- 2 tsp garam masala

Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors deepen overnight. Make-Ahead: You can chop all aromatics and kale the night before. Reheating: Gently reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Do not boil vigorously once coconut milk is added to prevent separation. Variations: Add 1/2 cup of red lentils with the broth for extra protein and fiber (simmer 15 mins longer). Substitute kale with fresh spinach (add in the last minute of cooking).
