Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra depth of flavor, consider tempering a pinch of Bengali panch phoron (five-spice mix) in hot mustard oil before adding the onions; this traditional technique adds a subtle, aromatic complexity to the curry.
  • If you prefer a thicker curry, mash a few of the cooked potatoes and peas against the side of the pot before serving; this naturally thickens the sauce without the need for additional thickeners.
  • To infuse a tangier note, stir in a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a sprinkle of amchur (dried mango powder) just before serving, balancing the earthiness of the potatoes and peas.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days; the flavors deepen overnight, making this curry an excellent make-ahead option for meal prep.
