Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and dice the potatoes.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
- Finely chop the onions.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Onions:
- Add the finely chopped onions to the pot with 1 tsp of salt.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Add the Spices:
- Stir in 2 tbsp dried coriander, 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tsp chili powder.
- Cook the spices with the onions for about 1-2 minutes to bloom their flavors, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
5. Add Potatoes and Cauliflower:
- Add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pot.
- Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spiced onion mixture.
6. Stir in Tomatoes and Broth:
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and vegetable broth.
- Stir to combine everything evenly.
7. Simmer the Curry:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.
8. Add Coconut Milk and Peas:
- Pour in the 1 cup coconut milk and add the 2 cups peas.
- Stir well to incorporate them into the curry.
9. Cook Until Thickened:
- Continue to simmer the curry uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the flavors meld together.
10. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, chili powder, or any preferred seasoning to suit your taste.
11. Serve:
- Turn off the heat and let the curry sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with rice, naan, or your favorite flatbread.

Tips:

- To enhance the flavor, toast the dried spices in the olive oil before adding the onions.

- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for a firmer texture after cooking.

- If you prefer a spicier curry, increase the amount of chili powder or add fresh chili peppers.

- For a creamier texture, blend part of the cooked curry before serving.

- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.

- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

This Indian-style potato and pea curry is not only a delightful blend of flavors but also a nutritious and wholesome meal. Serve it with steamed rice, naan, or your favorite bread to soak up the rich, fragrant sauce. Enjoy the taste of India in the comfort of your home!
