Lola’s Kitchen is a feature on Lola’s Reviews where I talk about all things related to food, cooking and baking. These posts can be recipe posts or more discussion type posts about food. I love cooking and spend some time in the kitchen almost every day, so I wanted to give it a place on my blog as well. The banner for this feature is designed by Michelle from Limabean Design.
I love my curries, hence why there have been multiple curry recipes on the blog so far already. Today’s curry is one of my favourites, it’s yummy, easy to make and doesn’t reguire too many ingredients. And it has potatoes, I love potatoes! And most of these ingredients are ingredients I have at home always, so I cna decide on the spur of the moment to make these, I just have to remember to buy tomatoes.
This recipe is based on Monsoon Spices her Dhariwala recipe.
Ingredients
- Potatoes – 4
- Frozen Green Peas – 1 cup
- Tomatoes – 3
- Onion – 1
- Garlic – 6 cloves
- Vegetable low salt bouillon cube – 1
- Cumin powder – 2 teaspoons
- Coriander leaves – 2 teaspoons
- Paprika Powder – 2 teaspoons
- Turmeric powder – 2 teaspoons
- Coriander powder – 2 teaspoons
- Garam Masala – 2 teaspoons
- Sugar – 1 teaspoon
- Water – 500 ml/ 2 cups
- Olive Oil
This recipe feeds around 3-4 people. You can serve with bread or rice or without side dish. If taste isn’t strong enough add another half teaspoon of all spices.
Method
- Peel, slice and dice the potatoes and put into a pan and boil for about 20 minutes. If using fresh green peas make sure to cook them together with the potatoes.
- In the meantime, slice and dice the tomatoes, onion and garlic. And combine all the spices in a bowl.
- When the potatoes are boiled, first drain them and then mash. You can keep a few larger pices or just mash it all. Then set aside.
- Heat some olive oil in a wok or pan and bake the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent.
- Now add the tomatoes and bake for a few minutes longer.
- Next add the potatoes, green peas, water and the mixed spices and stir well.
- Cook for a few more minutes and stir well.

I don’t think there is a potato dish that I don’t like. I’ve never had potatoes and curry so I’ll have to give this a shot some time. As you say, common enough ingredients that I mostly have around.

I think this is my second or third recipe with curry and potatoes, it’s a great cobmination as the potatoes take on the taste of the curry really well. I also love most potatoe dishes. I am only not a fan of bland cooked potatoes, which is pretty commom here in the Netherlands, I ate it a bit too often growing up.
And that’s one of the things I like about this recipe, most ingredients are pretty common.

Oh you have to try curry once! I love curry and have been making lots of different types of curry ever since I discovered my love for indian food. And potatoes is a great ingredient, you can put it in so many dishes.

I’ll look into since you like them so much. I’ve never actually seen an Indian place anywhere around here EVER. So, not sure where to try some good curry. Hmm…

Most big cities here have an india restaurant I think. Maybe you can google it? We found out there actually was an indian restaurant in a city close to us that way. Or ofcourse you can try one of my recipes 😉

I like curries, but not too spicy, I can’t spicy food. But I love how curries can be flavourfull without being spicy as well and for those who like the extra spicyness you can easily add mroe cayenne pepper or chili pepper.

Potatoes with curry is one of my favorite foods, indian curry is one of the best. I agree with you, I can’t deal with too much spicy food, I prefer mild food or light spices. Thank you for sharing the recipe 🙂

This curry is flavourfull, but not spicy, that’s how I like them best. And I agree indian curries are so good! And potatoes are great for curries as they take on the flavours so well.
Oh my goodness. I so wish I had a bowl of this right now. Peas and potatoes are two of my favorite things together. *noms*

I am planning to make this tomorrow, just seeing the recipe made me want to make this again. I hates peas as a kid, but I like them now and they work really well in this dish!
Yum! I’m going to try this recipe – I really like curries and potatoes so win win! Looks so simple too, which is a plus!

I hope you like it! It’s really simple and doesn’t take too long to make. And curry with potatoes are so good!

Lola, that looks DELICIOUS! I love me a good curry, but I don’t think I’ve tried one with mashed potatoes before. I usually order them, because I’m not terribly good with Indian food (and I don’t often have all the spices), but the next time I feel like experimenting I might try something along those lines. 🙂

Having all the spices is hard at first, I always foung those curries look so overhwelming with the big ingredient lists, but now I have most of those spices which makes it easier. I really like curries with (mashed) potatoes. You can probably experiment a bit with the spices, just use whatever you have and what goes well together and I am sure it will be yummy!
I’ve never had anything flavored with curry. I have been thinking about trying a curry dish and this one looks good.
