Ingredients

3 large baking potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup clarified butter
2 large onions, diced
1 tablespoon pureed garlic
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
1/2 tablespoon dried red pepper flakes
3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 to 3 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups fresh or frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon palm sugar, or brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Raita (yogurt-cucumber garnish)

Directions

Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a bowl and rinse with cold running water until water runs clear, to remove excess starch.

Heat 1/4 cup clarified butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onions until brown. At same time, heat remaining clarified butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Fry potatoes until golden and add Sauteed onions.

Add garlic and ginger, and cook just long enough to release their aromas. Remove from heat and add cumin, turmeric, coriander, and pepper flakes. Return pan to moderate heat and cook 12 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in tomatoes, water, and salt.

Simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook until peas are heated through. Adjust seasonings and serve immediately with basmati rice and assorted chutneys and raita.

EXCELLENT
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

sooo amazingly good. yum yum. used regular butter and no peas. threw in a portobello mushroom chopped up with the onions... cause I had it around. oh and I also added some heavy cream too bc I love to add some creaminess in curry dishes. also used lemon instead of lime. awesome. Read more

So good. Will make it again.

I loved this curry. The browned onions added so much flavour and depth. I didn't use ghee, just veggie oil to fry the onions... and potatoes, and it was fine, and probably healthier too. Next time I think I'll skip or shorten the initial potato frying time, which will make things go faster. Read more

Simply delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great tasty dish - I've made it a few times and its a hit in the house. I used diced tomatoes from a can which... works fine. The flavors are so nice in the curry that I use some starch (Wondra) to thicken the gravey a bit so that there is more for the rice. Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was amazing. I made a few changes I wanted to share. 1st, I used 2 cups of vegetable stock instead of water. I added 1... tsp. mustard seed with the cumin, turmeric, and crushed red pepper. I increased the coriander to 2 1/2 tblsp. I added 2 carrots and 1/2 a sweet potato with the other potatoes (I used red). At the end, I added 1/2 a green pepper and a jalapeno instead of peas. I also omitted the lime juice. This curry was incredible. Thank you!Read more

worth the work
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was flavorful. It made a big batch so I am freezing some for lunches at work.Be sure to follow the... directions..especially rinsing the potatoes (never did that before - what a difference it makes in sauteeing)and stirring constantly after adding the spices (I stopped for a minute and almost burned the whole thing).This was slightly labor intensive but worth the work.Read more

YUMMMMM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this last night for my family. I didn't add the pepper so that my little ones could eat this dish, and it still had a... little kick to it and they loved it! I will make this again, no doubt about it! I did add a little coconut oil when frying the potatoes and onions, which is perfect for this Indian dish. I highly recommend this to anyone!Read more
