The love for potatoes is universal. Most people I know love potatoes and that doesn’t surprise me. There’s something so nice and comforting about them, isn’t it? I use potatoes all the time in my kitchen whether it is to make simple stir fry or my favorite aloo paratha. This time around I used them to make this Vegan Potato Curry in my Instant Pot!
This Vegan Potato Curry
✓ is vegan and also gluten-free ✓ makes a great lunch or dinner ✓ made in one-pot! ✓ packed with so much flavor ✓ pairs well with rice, quinoa or any grain of choice I bought way too many potatoes last week, like a huge bag. And I knew immediately that I am going to a curry out of it. Most of the time, I add other veggies to the potato but this time around, I just let potatoes be the star! This potato curry is really simple to put together. All you need is potatoes (of course!), spices, and coconut milk. For this recipe I recommend using lite coconut milk. It keeps the curry slightly on the lighter side and also doesn’t give it a very strong coconut flavor. Of course you may use full fat coconut milk if you like. Sarvesh isn’t a huge fan of coconut flavor in curries but he thought this was great as it had a subtle coconut flavor. I highly recommend my favorite Chaokoh Coconut Milk Lite (not sponsored, I just love their coconut milk).
This vegan potato curry recipe has a nice balance of flavors. It’s little spicy with all the curry powder, red chili powder but that is well balanced with the sweetness of coconut milk and sugar. Using sugar is optional, but I do recommend it. Adds a nice flavor. You can use your favorite curry powder here. If it’s very hot, skip the red chili powder in the recipe. Mine wasn’t hot so I added some chili powder. If you love extra spicy food, then you can even add in some green chilies or jalapeños to the curry. To make this curry a little creamier and more flavorful, I mash some of the potatoes once they are cooked with a potato masher. This thickens the curry and also adds a lot of flavor. Do try this trick!
Making Potato Curry on Stove-Top
You can easily make this recipe on stove top. Follow all the steps as such and let the potatoes cook until done, around 10 to 15 minutes on stove top. Check out the detailed instructions for cooking this potato curry on stove-top in the recipe card below. I hope you guys will enjoy this recipe. It’s really simple but flavorful and makes a hearty meal.
Method
1- Press the saute button on the instant pot. Once it displays hot, add the green cardamom pods (crush them slightly before adding), cloves and cumin seeds. Let the spices sizzle for few seconds. 2- Then add the onion, garlic and ginger. 3- Stir and cook for 3 minutes until the onion is soft. 4- Add a can of diced tomatoes (I used fire roasted) and stir and deglaze the pot. Make sure there’s nothing stuck at the bottom of the pot.
5- Add the spices- curry powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder (skip if your curry powder is spicy) and turmeric. Also add the salt and sugar (if using). Stir and cook the spices for 30 seconds. 6- Add in the potatoes and toss to combine with the masala. 7- Add the water and stir. 8- Close the pot and press the manual or pressure cook button. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes with the pressure valve in the sealing position. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then do a quick pressure release.
9- Open the lid and press the saute button. Add in coconut milk (I prefer lite) and stir. 10- Then take a potato masher and mash some of the potatoes, this thickens the curry and also adds to flavor. 11- Add chopped cilantro and let the curry simmer on saute for 4 to 5 minutes. 12- Add lemon juice and stir.
Serve this vegan potato curry with more cilantro over rice, quinoa etc.
