Actually it's fair to say this curried chickpea stew is a fusion dish rather than being strictly South East Asian or Indian. Red curry paste is a Thai ingredient while curry powder is more Indian in style. Other ingredients, such as the garlic, onion and kale, are used in multiple cuisines. Sometimes it's nice to take inspiration from more than one cuisine and come up with a delicious hybrid dish. Take this baked feta pasta as another example - feta is Greek while pasta is Italian, but they are so good together!
