9g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1/2 tsp cardamom
1g
1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.45g
4 tsp curry powder
8g
1 slice ginger root
11g
2 tsp salt
12g
1 can canned tomatoes
190g
15 oz chickpeas

340g
1/2 cup raisins
70g
1/2 cup cashew
70g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
- Mince or grate the ginger root.
2. Cook the Aromatics:
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it softens and turns translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Spices:
- Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground cumin, ground cardamom, red pepper, and curry powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the spices and release their aromas.
4. Add Potatoes and Tomatoes:
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them with the spices.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and mix well. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
5. Simmer the Curry:
- Add salt to taste at this stage.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Incorporate Chickpeas and Peas:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add the drained chickpeas and peas to the pot. Stir to combine.
7. Add Coconut Milk:
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Allow the curry to simmer for another 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Ensure the mixture doesn't boil too vigorously.
8. Final Touches:
- Stir in the raisins and toasted cashews. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
9. Serve:
- Remove from heat and let the curry sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves if desired.
10. Enjoy:
- Serve the potato curry hot, with rice, naan, or your favorite flatbread. Enjoy the comforting and flavorful vegan meal!

Tips:

- Cut potatoes into equal-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

- Saute the spices briefly before adding other ingredients to release their full flavors.

- Use fresh ginger root for an extra burst of flavor.

- If you prefer a thicker curry, let it simmer longer to reduce the liquid.

- To add a touch of sweetness, you can include a small amount of sugar or maple syrup.

Your Vegan Potato Curry with Chickpeas, Peas, and Cashews is now ready to be served! This nourishing dish is perfect by itself or with a side of rice or naan bread. Enjoy the medley of flavors and textures in every bite. Happy cooking and bon appétit!
