Potatoes

Curry Sauce

Method

Potatoes Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, black pepper, and additional salt to taste. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Curry Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Curry Powder and Coconut Milk

    Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute to release its flavors. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  3. 5

    Final Seasoning

    Add lemon juice and salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until it slightly thickens, stirring occasionally.
