This recipe combines tender potatoes simmered to perfection in creamy coconut milk with a vibrant spice blend of curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and a hint of cayenne for a balanced heat. Fresh garlic, ginger, and onion infuse the dish with aromatic depth, while a sprinkle of cilantro completes the flavor profile. Ready in just 45 minutes and easily paired with steamed rice or flatbread, this one-pot wonder is ideal for plant-based eating or anyone seeking a healthy, dairy-free dinner option.
Peel and cube the potatoes into about 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to release their aroma, stirring continuously.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the curry cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Stir occasionally and check the seasoning. Add salt and black pepper according to taste.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let the curry rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of flatbread.
