Potato and Pea Curry by @coxys_kitchen
Enjoy a curry night with this popular Potato and Pea Curry. With only a subtle kick from the chilli, this lightly spiced, fragrant curry is one that all your guests can enjoy.
This is a dry dish, so it works well as a side served with wet curries, or as a main course served with dhal or basmati rice. Be sure to make enough though, because this delicious vegetarian Potato and Pea Curry is sure to draw the meat-eaters in too.
Recipe serves: 4
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20-30 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 700g potatoes, peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
- 120g peas
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp oil, or ghee
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp, fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- Approx. 150ml water
- 1½ Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
METHOD:
- On a medium heat, heat the oil or ghee in a large frying pan, then add the sliced onion, garlic and ginger and cook until the onion has softened, but not coloured
- Add the ground spices, chilli powder and potato to the pan and stir until all the potatoes have been well coated in the spices
- Add the water to the pan – the water should cover the potatoes no more than 1/3 of the way up; depending on the size of the pan, you may need to add more water. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes start to become tender. Stir occasionally to make sure they don’t stick to the bottom of the pan
- When the potatoes are almost done, stir in the peas and check the seasoning. Cover and cook on a low heat until the potatoes have absorbed the water and are cooked through; this should take no more than 5 minutes
- Just before serving, stir in the mint and serve either as a main course or as a side dish to your favourite curry
