Delectable and Creamy Kale Lemak

Ah kale. Most people have a love-hate relationship with this dark green leaf. We adore it for its nutritional qualities but loathe it because well, it does not taste so good! That is all going to change now because we have found the ultimate recipe to make kale taste good. Called Kale Lemak, this dish combines to perfection the creamy richness of coconut milk and fragrant Asian spices such as lemongrass and turmeric with the bitterness of kale!
