- Add the garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, cumin, cardamom, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder and ground ginger and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, peanut butter and jalapeno and stir until well combined.
- Stir in the stock, mustard greens and bay leaves and bring to a simmer.
- Decrease the heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
