    Super yummy potato curry is ready to serve with hot pooris!

    ENJOY!

    What else can serve with potato curry?

    This potato curry recipe delivers its maximum flavour when served with hot poori or puri.
    But, it can also enjoy with:

    • Steamed white rice
    • Roti or chapati
    • Bread or naan
    • Chicken drumsticks.

    There is no comparison of chutneys when these are served with curry recipes.

    Try green chutney or carrot chutney recipes. These chutneys take potato curry to the next level in terms of flavour, taste and aroma when served along with pooris.

    More to try!

    • For a zingy flavour, add tomatoes while blending chilli-cashew paste, but avoid lemon juice later on.
    • You may also substitute lemon juice with chat masala or vinegar.
    • For a more spicy version, you can add more spices like curry leaves, cloves, star anise, cinnamon and bay leaf while preparing curry.

    Some tips and tricks

    • Cumin enhances the taste and aids digestion, so I highly recommend adding cumin seeds to the potato curry.
    • Blend the chilli-cashew to a smooth paste.
    • Butter is optional, but it enhances the flavour.
    • Add water if you prefer the thin consistency of the curry.
    • Refrigerate the leftover potato curry which can be used for up to 4 days.

      I love how easy this is to make and am so intrigued by the cashew chili paste! We are trying to eat more vegetarian meals throughout the week and when we're short on time, too, this would be so perfect! I'm adding to my 'to make' list.
