Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp curry paste (from a jar)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 450g potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 900g), cut into chunks
  • 600ml vegetable stock (made from a cube)
  • 400ml can coconut milk
  • 175g frozen peas
  • Small bunch coriander, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the curry paste and onion: In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of curry paste and stir in the finely chopped onion. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened and the paste is aromatic.
  2. Add potatoes and liquids: Add the chunked potatoes and sweet potatoes to the pan. Pour in 600ml of vegetable stock and 400ml of coconut milk, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Simmer the curry: Reduce the heat to low and allow the curry to simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and tender.
  4. Add the peas and finish cooking: Stir in 175g of frozen peas, bring the curry back to the boil, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes to cook the peas through.
  5. Season and serve: Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if needed. Spoon the curry into bowls and scatter freshly chopped coriander over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Use your preferred curry paste depending on desired spice level.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable stock instead of cubes.
  • Serve with steamed rice or warm naan bread for a full meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
