Delicious Peanut & Roast Potato Curry
A gorgeous peanut curry with roast potatoes, courgette and aubergine. The flavour is absolutely wonderful. Serve with rice or flatbreads.
I thought it was about time I posted another curry as it’s been a little while. This one combines some of my favourite things. Crispy roast potatoes and peanuts–sound good?
I got the idea of adding roast potatoes to curry from a dish at one of my favourite restaurants in Barcelona ‘Gourmet tapas’, their dish is a Thai/Indian hybrid which I’d love to recreate but in the meantime you have my roast potato and peanut curry. It’s absolutely delicious!
Because all the vegetables in my curry have been roasted, it adds tons of extra texture and flavour. I served with flatbreads (of course) but it’s also great with rice and pickles.
I think you’re going to love this one.

We love this sauce. Especially after it’s sat in the fridge for a day or so. Beautiful with the roasted vegetables but also just with rice. It’s so quick and easy to make., now one of favourites.
So happy to hear that Debbie!

What a gloriously hearty and beautiful curry! Japanese curries and Indian curries also use potatoes, and sometimes Thai as well. I have rarely seen potatoes mixed into a peanut stew or curry sauce, but I can only imagine the combination tasting divine! What is a good alternative to the coconut yogurt? Have you had success with coconut cream or another kind of thickener?
It’s my new favourite. Potatoes and curry are just…
Coconut cream or milk would be perfect
