"Full of bright, zesty lime and creamy coconut, this one-pot potato and pea curry is perfect for spring. It strikes the perfect balance – light enough for the season, yet still delicious and satisfying. Increase the red pepper flakes for a spicier kick, or omit them entirely for a family friendly take. Swap out the greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative, and enjoy this curry totally vegan. Using just a handful of simple ingredients, this dish is perfect for weeknights on a budget!"

FAQ

Waxy potatoes work well in this curry, as they hold their shape and structure when cooking. Look for smaller varieties like new potatoes or kipfler, which only need to be halved or quartered for this fulfilling curry.
