Peel, cube, and steam the breadfruit for 10-15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.
Sauté the onion, garlic, ginger, and eggplant in peanut oil for about 5 minutes until browned. Then add the spices. Stir another few minutes.
Add the coconut milk, stirring well to combine all the spices. Now add the peppers, breadfruit pieces, and kale and cover. Allow to simmer for about 20 minutes over low heat.
Cook rice according to package directions. Most jasmine or basmati rice takes about 15 minutes to cook.
Taste curry and adjust if needed. You may prefer to remove the cardamom pods and cinnamon sticks prior to serving. Garnish with cilantro, basil, and extra kale.
