In Kenya, many people believe that the English translation for sukuma wiki is kale. This is not true. Kale or leaf cabbage has green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head (as opposed to headed cabbages). What we call sukuma wiki is actually called collard greens in the US and some other parts of the world.
However, for this recipe, you can substitute kale with sukuma wiki. When I first made it, I followed a friend’s recipe to the tee. In my next attempt (which I follow to date), I substituted the water with chicken broth, added a bit of wine and used regular diced tomato. The outcome was amazing making this a regular recipe on my dinner table.
