I made this dish special for the Gojee potluck last week, which was super fun because I got to meet a lot of the other writers in the area. I decided to make a curried and creamed kale, kind of a take on traditional creamed spinach and also Indian saag or palak.
For this recipe, I flavored the kale with Indian spices, and instead of using cream, used lebne, Lebanese strained yogurt – almost like yogurt cheese. I love the lebne from Kalustyan’s in Curry Hill – they make it fresh and it’s the most delicious I have ever had!
Realizing this was for a potluck, I threw in some red peppers because creamed kale is not the most attractive thing and I had some sev, fried chickpea flour strands in the fridge so I sprinkled some on top for texture and color, which went over well.There were so many amazing dishes at this potluck, which you can also get the recipes for. Starting on Thursday, January 26, you can check out other potluck dishes my fellow gojee contributors shared. Go to gojee.com and enter “gojeepotluck” into I Crave.

This looks great! I’ve got a question though, since I’m not familiar with lebne, is greek yogurt similar enough to be used as a substitute here?
Thanks! Yes you can definitely use Greek yogurt as a substitute because the lebne is adding creaminess and tangy taste to the dish.
