Ingredients
I’m all about a good recipe that uses simple, easy-to-find (or already have on hand) ingredients. This potato curry is exactly that! Here’s what you’ll need:
Coconut Oil – Any type of oil works great for this recipe, but I’m loving the lightly sweet flavors of coconut oil in curries.
Garlic – Minced garlic or garlic powder are both great options.
Potatoes – Red potatoes, russet potatoes, or even sweet potatoes are delicious in this potato curry recipe!
Bell Pepper – I used a thinly sliced red bell pepper in this recipe. However, feel free to use any type of pepper!
Curry Paste – A good curry starts with a good curry paste. I love keeping curry paste on hand for quick and easy recipes like this one!
Chickpeas – Chickpeas add flavor, texture, and protein (as well as other nutrients) to this recipe.
Coconut Milk – Unsweetened coconut milk gives this potato curry the right amount of creamy, delicious coconut flavors. You’ll love it in this recipe!
Spinach – The spinach in this recipe is worked in at the end, making it soft and flavorful (as well as nutritious). Feel free to substitute with chopped kale, adjust the level to taste, or omit it if necessary!
Rice – I recommend serving this recipe with jasmine rice. However, feel free to serve with naan bread, other types of rice, or whatever your heart desires!
Make this your own
Have other ingredients you want to add to this curry? Feel free to make this your own! Carrots, zucchini, lentils, and peas are all great options.
I love sneaking veggies into curries and making my own twist on this recipe!

What to serve with potato curry
Potato curry is great on it’s own, but I love serving it alongside (or mixed in) jasmine rice! You can also serve it with bread or a side salad, or all of the above!
- Jasmine Rice (as listed in this recipe)
- Naan Bread
- Salads
Refrigerating/Freezing
Another great thing about potato curry is that it can be refrigerated or frozen for later. Make a big batch of this recipe and have it on hand, ready to go!
To refrigerate: place the curry in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
To freeze: place the curry in an airtight container (without the lid) in the refrigerator for about an hour. Then add the lid and store in the freezer for up to 3 months!
To reheat this recipe: remove from the refrigerator or freezer, add a little bit of broth, and reheat in the microwave (mixing halfway through).

My entire family LOVED this. I didn’t have any curry paste on hand so I used curry powder instead (along with a couple other spices: cumin, sage, red chilli flakes, and coriander) and it turned out great! I also added tofu and cauliflower to the sauce and topped it with avocado and I think it made a great addition. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
