Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Spices and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the aromatics.
  2. Sauté Onions: Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, to develop sweetness and depth of flavor.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant, enhancing the curry’s aroma.
  4. Add Spices: Mix in the curry powder and cumin, cooking for an additional minute to toast the spices and release their flavors.
  5. Simmer Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes and pour in the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas and cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and maintain their vibrant color.
  7. Season and Garnish: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving to add freshness and color.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh peas if available, adding them during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding chili powder or fresh chilies if desired.
  • This curry pairs well with rice, naan, or flatbreads for a complete meal.
  • For a thicker curry, reduce the amount of coconut milk or simmer uncovered for a few minutes after cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
