Using a zester, finely grate the remaining clove into a paste (or use the small side of a  box grater). In a bowl, combine the diced shallot, chopped ginger, and chopped garlic. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then finely chop the leaves. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Roughly chop the peppers. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Season with salt and pepper.

In a medium pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared shallot, ginger, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the curry paste. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined.
