In Jakarta, we used cassava leaves for this type of curry, but we realized Kale has the same textures, and is easier to find here in UK. As usual, omit the chilli if you don't like spicy. This will taste nicer the day after. Originally this used salted fish (Teri)- which I used, this can be omit, as you can't find this here in UK.

Whether it's a spoonful of sugar or a handful of cabe (chillies), it can only make your food (or live) more exciting. The little Indonesian girl in me reminisces about the spicy flavors of home. Dishes such as Nasi goreng and rendang, transport me 7000 miles back to my home in Jakarta.Arriving in UK, I felt lost. Finding foods that I missed could be quite a challenge. That’s when my culinary journey started. It's far from perfect, and just a guide, use and make them your own. I hope it would help you, as it help me.
