Servings: 4 -6 servings

Ingredients

  • 10 medium sized new potatoes - or waxy potatoes, well scrubbed or peeled and sliced in 0.5 cm rounds
  • 1 yellow onion - finely chopped
  • 2 red heirloom tomatoes - finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp Madras curry powder
  • 1 tsp Aleppo chili flakes - or other mild red pepper flakes, see note
  • salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 600 ml vegetable stock

Garnish:

  • toasted pine nuts
  • parsley

Instructions

  • Sauté onions with turmeric in a pan with olive oil over medium heat. When onions have softened slightly, add tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes and stir occasionally. Add tomato paste and stir-fry for 30-60 seconds.
  • Add potatoes and all seasoning, including salt & pepper. Stir fry for 30-60 seconds before adding the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, turn heat down to medium-low and let simmer covered for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Adjust thickness of the sauce by adding more vegetable stock or let simmer uncovered to thicken.
  • Serve with bread or rice (or both!), garnish with parsley and toasted pine nuts.

  • A reader's tip for the amount of chili flakes used: if you're not used to a lot of heat, start with 1/4 tsp and then add more to taste.
