This quick and easy (yet extremely delicious) potato and pea curry is a staple in homes across India, particularly in the north. I love eating it with steamed basmati rice drizzled with ghee, or simple rotis.

    Great taste! Was careful with how much water I added to make sure it didn’t get watery as some below complained of. Also added in cauliflower and a handful of spinach to finish for some extra veg.

    I did this but the potatoes were hard and the consistency of the curry really watery. This was after 20 mins. Maybe I needed to cut the potatoes even smaller, or cook them first.

    I've boiled the potatoes much longer than required for them to be good. Around 30 minutes. After 10 minutes I've removed lid so the water could evaporate. They boiled correctly and the watery consitency changed to more 'saucy' :)

    Don’t be afraid to cook things for longer than the recipes tell you ! And if in the cooking process the water evaporates too much just add more liquid and re season .
