Green Pea, Baby Potato, and Cauliflower Curry by

Ingredients

3/4 lb (340 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on their size) into bite-sized pieces
1 small (3/4 lb/340 g) head of cauliflower, chopped into bite-sized florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups (355 ml) low-sodium chicken stock, vegetable stock, or water
2 cups (500 g) plain, low-fat yogurt, at room temperature
2 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 4 tablespoons cold water to form a slurry
5 oz (140 g) frozen green peas, thawed under warm running water

Instructions

1. Add the potatoes to a medium saucepan; cover them by 1 inch with cold water. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down slightly and cook until fork tender but not mushy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain well.
2. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and boil until fork-tender but not mushy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop it from cooking more. Once cooled, drain again.
3. Add the oil to a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and starting to caramelize in places, about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, ground coriander, crushed red pepper flakes, cumin seeds, salt, turmeric, black pepper, and bay leaf, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Add the stock or water and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the yogurt, stirring constantly but slowly in one direction with a wooden spoon. Once the yogurt is warm, stir in the cornstarch slurry and the potato and cauliflower.
6. Continue to heat the curry over medium heat until it’s steaming hot and just comes to a simmer, and then immediately remove it from the heat. Be sure to stir in one direction using a wooden spoon for the majority of the time (this is to help prevent the yogurt from curdling).
