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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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!

  1. 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!
