Main Ingredients
  • 3 medium medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder your choice of mild or spicy
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 can coconut milk (400ml)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic and ginger.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric, mixing well to coat the onions. Cook for an additional minute, letting the spices bloom.
  4. Carefully add the diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to incorporate into the spice mixture.
  5. Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring until combined. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Cover and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Taste your curry, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

For substitutions, you can use almond or soy milk instead of coconut milk, but you'll lose some creaminess. For a richer texture, add a tablespoon of peanut butter. If the curry is too thick, add more broth until the desired consistency is reached. This curry can last up to 4 days in the refrigerator and 3 months in the freezer.
