Potatoes as undercover agents
Some say potatoes are boring, some find they are tasty tidbits especially served as fries. My opinion is divided. Potatoes as undercover agents in curries or soups will be fine at least for me. What’s your favorite potato dish?
Spicy Potato Curry
Peel & cut the potatoes into pieces. Cook them in salt water or steam the cubes.
Directions for the potato curry, heat coconut oil in a non-sticking frying-pan. Add 3 tbsp. of curry paste, 1 chopped chili and the spices. Simmer on medium heat for 2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and cook for another 5 minutes. To finish, add the potatoes, the bell pepper cubes and 1 can of chickpeas. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
For the spinach, heat coconut oil in a pan with a lid. Add 1 chopped garlic clove. Simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add the spinach. Season the spinach with salt and black pepper. Close the lid. Cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
