definitely look up recipes - and don't be afraid to try cuisine (and ingredients) from other countries if they appeal to you more than uninspired cooking. You can usually get good curries from every country at many grocery stores, or if your city has any Asian supermarkets, try there. I prefer Japanese curry but there's a lot of variety out there.

what kinds of spicy dishes are you into? I'm good at cooking jambalaya and chili, maybe I can transcribe my recipes.

at the very least, cooking doesn't have to be gross if you don't want it to. there are proper ways to salt/spice vegetables so they taste delightful, and not over-cooking them helps. plus, some vegetables actually retain their nutrients better when raw, so there's nothing wrong with eating raw vegetables or mixing them into a nice pasta salad.

I like chili, curry, and... some things I don't remember the names of. I don't usually like cooked "greens" or anything like it, but I had some from the Ethiopian restaurant that I liked (but I don't remember the name of the dish). I like vegetables in Thai curry and some Burmese dishes that I don't have the names of right here (we have a Burmese restaurant near my house).

ooooh you have good taste.

I'm not into cooked greens either, my green veggies are usually along the lines of bell peppers, zucchini, and such. It's really super-easy to add vegetables to chili and curry both, usually balance the greens with some carrots, onions, celery, etc. Use zucchini and other squashes in place of potatoes, you just have to take care when to add them so you don't over-cook them. And, there's a reason bell peppers, onions, and celery are nicknamed the holy trinity of all Cajun cooking - they go in everything and with everything, and bulk out recipes nicely without changing the texture of the dish.

Zucchini, bell peppers, carrots and celery are all right, but they don't match the nutrition of leafy greens. (By which I mean dark leafy greens, not, for example iceberg lettuce.)

If it was Ethiopian, it was likely Gomet Wat, basically collard greens. Tons of recipes online for that:
