Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 can (14 oz / 400g) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (14 oz / 400ml) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro (coriander) chopped (for garnish)
How to make Vegan Potato Curry:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking. Set them aside.
- Heat the Oil: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Toast the Spices: Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil. Sauté until they start to pop and release their aroma, about 1 minute.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent and golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add the Spices: Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric. Stir well to coat the onions and release the spices’ fragrance, about 2 minutes.
- Incorporate the Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring them into the tomato mixture to coat evenly.
- Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Season and Garnish: Add salt to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
