Made chickpea curry with potato last night. Recipe called for less potato, but my potatoes were starting to become sentient beings so I had to put them to use… And who doesn’t love potatoes?!
Definitely on the spicy side, so I’d start with less cayenne and add more to taste. Probably didn’t help that I used Malaysian curry powder, but it was still delicious and not painful. I’d consider using a bit of coconut cream next time to make up more sauce and mellow the spice for a nice creamy texture.
Highly recommend using a waxy potato so it holds together.
It makes a lot of leftovers. I think the recipe says 5 servings, but it’ll do far more than that.

I’ve not seen this with potatoes before! Maybe I’ll try this when I make chickpea curry sometime
I do like to add chopped peanuts on top for some crunch though :) it makes the chickpea texture more enjoyable for me
It’s pretty yum with potatoes and it bulks it out a little more so it can be eaten over a few more meals.
Ooooh chopped peanuts would be delicious. Fried onions works well for the crunchy texture, but I don’t think it would work so well with this dish haha.
