How to Make Easy Vegan Potato Curry

Just a quick heads-up; making this curry isn’t rocket science! It’s straightforward and a great way to practice your culinary skills while enjoying the process. Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking!

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Before diving in, take a moment to dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the tomatoes. Don’t forget to peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. 

Having everything ready makes the cooking process smoother and more efficient.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until it turns translucent. 

Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. The scent alone will have your taste buds tingling!

Step 3: Spice It Up

Time to add some zest! Toss in the crushed red chili, curry powder, turmeric, and garam masala. Stir for another minute to awaken the spices’ full potential. Your kitchen will smell like a spice market; it’s worth lingering in this moment.

Step 4: Add Tomatoes and Tomato Purée

Now, incorporate the concentrated tomato purée and fresh chopped tomatoes into the pot. Stir everything together, letting it cook for about 3-4 minutes. This combination gives the curry a luscious base.

Step 5: Introduce the Potatoes

Add the diced potatoes to the mix, stirring until coated with the tomato mixture. This step seals in flavor and aroma.

Step 6: Pour in the Coconut Milk

Next comes the magic ingredient: coconut milk. Pour it in and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. You want those potatoes to begin their journey toward tenderness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7: Let It Simmer

Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally and be patient. This is where flavors meld, and the potatoes soften.

Step 8: Add Peas and Spinach

Once the potatoes are fork-tender, stir in the green peas and fresh spinach leaves. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the peas are heated through.

Step 9: Taste and Adjust

Before serving, give your curry a quick taste. Add more salt or spices as needed. Each bite should be balanced and flavorful.

Step 10: Serve It Up!

Spoon the curry over bowls of fluffy steamed rice and enjoy the deliciousness you’ve created!
