INSTRUCTIONS

To speed things up. cook the potatoes and sweet potatoes until slightly tender using an air fryer, oven. or by boiling. Preheat to 180°C and cook for about ten minutes.
Then, if you are using whole spices rather than ground, coarsely crush the cumin and coriander seeds in a spice grinder or by hand using a mortar and pestle.
Add the tomatoes, 250mI of water. garlic. and ginger to a blender or food processor, and blend into a purée.
To keep this meal oil-free, heat a splash of broth or water in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed cumin seeds and coriander and cook for a minute or so while stirring. Add another splash of water or vegetable broth if the toasty spices become too dry.
Stir in the chopped onion and cook for three or four minutes or until the onion looks translucent. Then. sprinkle in the ground turmeric and cayenne, stirring and cooking for another minute or two.
Stir in the blended tomato purée and cook for four minutes. Add the salt and cook for ten minutes.
Add the pre-cooked potatoes and sweet potatoes, stir and cover for another ten minutes over medium to high heat.
Stir in the garam masala and frozen peas, cover and cook for a minute - or just enough to thaw and warm the peas.
Taste and adjust the salt as needed. Stir in about half of the chopped cilantro and serve with additional cilantro and optional red pepper/chilli flakes on the side for more heat. Enjoy this dish spooned over a batch of your favourite rice.
An optional dollop of vegan sour cream, or plain, dairy-free yogurt for topping your curry tastes wonderful with the potatoes and acts as a coolant if you opt to go spicier with the seasonings.

NOTE: For added protein, you can include chicken.

WINE PAIRING – OUR DELICIOUS BRUCE JACK LIFESTYLE SHIRAZ

South African Shiraz sits perfectly between the blockbusters of the Barossa and the refinement of the Rhône. We love the raspberry, Indian spice, and ripe plum aromas. The palate is full and rich, with dark chocolate, black forest fruit, and smooth, sexy tannins. It can be enjoyed now or cellared at a cool temperature for up to 5 years.
