PEA & NEW POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• To make your own pea stock: put leftover pea pods in a large saucepan with half bunch each mint, thyme and parsley. Add enough water to cover, and some salt and black peppercorns. Gently bring to the boil and simmer for 35 mins, then strain. Chill for up to five days or freeze for up to a month.
• Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan. Add the onions and cook over a low heat for 10-15 mins until soft. Throw in the chillies, ginger and spices, and cook for a few mins. Stir in the potatoes and lime juice, coating in the spice mix.
• Add the yogurt, coriander stalks and the stock. Simmer slowly for 35-40 mins until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has reduced. Stir through the peas and cook for another 5 mins. Sprinkle over the coriander leaves, and serve with lime wedges and warm naan bread.

POTATO AND PEA CURRY WITH YOGURT, CUMIN, AND GINGER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until a knife easily slips into the flesh, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut the potatoes in half, and then remove their skins.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add the asafetida and cumin seeds. Let them cook for 10 seconds, and then add the potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are lightly browned, two to three minutes.
• Add three tablespoons of yogurt, the peas, the ginger, the salt, and the cayenne. Stir well, and let cook until the yogurt is absorbed by the potatoes. Add another three tablespoons of yogurt and the coriander. Stir and let cook until the yogurt is once again absorbed.
• Add the rest of the yogurt, stir, and let cook for one minute. If you used frozen peas, you are done at this point. If you used fresh peas, add three tablespoons of water, turn heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until peas are tender, four to six minutes. Serve the curry with rice.

POTATO CURRY WITH LIME & CUCUMBER RAITA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the mustard seeds, chillies and curry leaves until the seeds start to pop. Add the onions and fry until softened and starting to brown. stir in the spices, add the tomatoes and fry for 5 mins. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Pour in the coconut milk with 200ml water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20-25 mins, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just tender.
• To make the raita, mix all the ingredients together with some seasoning.
• If the curry looks a little too saucy, scoop out the potatoes with a slotted spoon into another dish, then boil the sauce until reduced a little. stir the potatoes back in to heat through, and season well (this curry needs a good sprinkling of salt). serve with warmed Indian bread and a dollop of raita.
