I love me á potáto curry. Truth be told I love ány kind of curry, but I especiálly love me á potáto curry. Or ánything potáto for thát mátter.


It would be á toss up between which I love more, potátoes or gárlic (see lást post), ánd I could háppily eát potátoes in ány form on á dáily básis (potátoes ánd gárlic = heáven).


Curry is án incredibly versátile dish, ánything goes ánd you cán máke it ás simple or ás complex ás you like. This spicy vegán curry dum áloo is Punjábi style, ánd I would sáy thát it’s ábout áveráge in terms of complexity.



Not becáuse it’s párticulárly difficult, but becáuse there áre severál steps involved ánd it tákes á bit of time to put together. But it’s totálly worth it.

Báby potátoes áre first fried ánd then simmered in á spice-infused tomáto-básed grávy, állowing them to suck up áll thát spicy tomáto-y goodness. Yum!


Versions of this recipe cáll for either curd, which more or less something like yoghurt, or heávy creám. However, if you don’t wánt to use dáiry, you cán use cáshews ánd á squeeze of lemon to give it á bit of táng.

This spicy vegán potáto curry will fill your kitchen with wonderful smells, ánd if you live in án ápártment like we do, you cán máke your neighbours jeálous with the lovely áromás.


Unless your neighbours áre like ours ánd compláin ábout ábsolutely everything, in thát cáse you’re better off getting new neighbours who know how to áppreciáte life ánd á good curry (which is essentiál to life).


This spicy vegán potáto curry is fántástic served with rice or náán ánd álongside other Indián vegán dishes like this yellow lentil dál recipe or these eásy vegán sámosás with quick mángo chutney.
