Easy potato curry

This rich, aromatic potato curry is an easy and delicious meatless recipe. Serve with roti and yogurt for a fantastic weeknight dinner.

How to make potato curry

1. Potatoes: Peel potatoes and slice into chunks. When using medium potatoes I slice each potato into 6 chunks. Parboil the potatoes in salted water then drain and set aside.
2. Curry: Cook onion, garlic and ginger in a large pot until soft and fragrant. Add curry spices and cook for another minute. Pour in canned tomatoes then add the potatoes. Stir to coat the potatoes in the spices then add stock. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Reduce the temperature and allow to simmer until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
3. Serve: Serve the curry with roti or naan bread, yogurt and finely chopped chillies.

Freezing and making ahead

1. Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing curries with potato in. The potato can change texture and become watery and mushy. However, if you aren’t worried about the texture, this curry can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months and thawed in the fridge before being reheated gently.
2. Make ahead: This curry can be made up to 2 days in advance. Most curries are actually much better the following day. Keep covered in the fridge and reheat gently in on the stove before serving.
