The many forms of potato curry

With sauce, without sauce, spicy, mild, whole potatoes, sliced potatoes, diced potatoes, potato chips, stuffed potatoes and beyond. The many guises of potato curry are an endless fountain of creativity. Some have tomatoes, others have coconut, many are cooked with yoghurt, yet some are made creamy with nut and seed pastes. Sometimes they’re boiled, other times they’re fried, very often a dish will require you to do both. I have an endless list of Potato Curries to try, but this is one I always flock home to this recipe. What can I say, I’m a creature of habit.
