Curries

Dry-Curry Sweet Potatoes

See Marcella Jerome's article "Sweet Potatoes" for background and resources.

Coconut Rice

[See Vidhya Shanker's article on curry]. Traditionally made with fresh grated coconut that is toasted (and thus more savory than sweet), this adaptation is less labor-intensive and time-consuming, but could turn out too sweet if you’re not careful with the other ingredients.

Potato Curries

—by Kathryn Tempas

Originally cultivated in South America, brought back to Ireland and other European countries by early explorers, then across to North America, potatoes have a long history of nourishing people. They also store well, which makes them available year-round at the co-op, even some local varieties.

Potatoes are a very versatile food. They appear several times a week at our table: baked, mashed, hash browns, au gratin, roasted, and more. But one of my favorite ways to prepare them is potato curry.

Curries bring to mind India and, to many, spicy foods. But not all curries are spicy.

Potato Curry with Tomatoes (Puri Wale Aloo)

See Kathryn Tempas' short article on potato curries.

This next potato curry may have a few spices that are not in your cupboard, but never fear. At the co-op, you can purchase small quantities and give it a try. Look for garam masala, a spice blend, in the smaller spice containers.
