- 2 tomatoes, chopped
Spices and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt to taste
Others
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the base ingredients.
- Sauté onions: Add the chopped onion to the hot oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown and fragrant.
- Cook tomatoes: Stir in the chopped tomatoes and continue cooking until they soften completely, breaking them down with your spoon to create a sauce base.
- Add spices: Mix in 2 tablespoons of curry powder and 1 teaspoon of turmeric, stirring well to evenly coat the onion and tomato mixture with spices.
- Combine potatoes and salt: Add the diced potatoes and salt to taste, stirring to ensure all pieces are well coated with the flavorful spice mixture.
- Add water and boil: Pour in 1 cup of water and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, allowing the potatoes to start cooking through.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and cooked thoroughly, about 20-25 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve your warm, comforting potato curry immediately.
Notes
- For a creamier curry, add a splash of coconut milk towards the end of simmering.
- You can adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of curry powder.
- Serve this curry with steamed rice or warm flatbreads for a complete meal.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and taste even better the next day after flavors meld.
