Before you start
Preheat oven to 200*C | Baking sheet lined with parchment | Food Processor | Large frying pan | Large saucepan
Prepare the potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and chop them into small roast potato size pieces.
- Pop them in a pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling turn down to a simmer until the potatoes are just cooked.
- Add the oil, garam masala, curry powder, salt and pepper to large roasting tray and stir to combine.
- Drain the potatoes with a colander and shake to rough up the edges (this ‘chuffing’ will help crisp up the potatoes).
- Tip the potatoes into the tray and stir so the potatoes are well coated in the mixture.
- Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
Prepare the sauce ingredients
- Put the almonds on a baking tray and roast for 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Peel and finely chop the onions, garlic and ginger.
- Chop the tomatoes into roughly 1cm pieces.
Make the sauce
- Warm the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and a little pinch of salt and fry until golden - approx 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 1 minute.
- Add the almonds and stir for one minute.
- Transfer the contents of the pan to the food processor and blend into a textured puree.
- Add the yoghurt and water and pulse to combine.
- Transfer the spices to a plate.
- Put the same pan back on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the spice mix to the pan and fry the spices for 1 minute until aromatic, loosen with a splash of water if it begins to stick.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan, stir to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes until they begin to break down.
- Pour the contents of the blender, coconut milk and sugar into the pan, stir to combine, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent catching.
To serve
- Taste the sauce and season with salt, black pepper, chilli and sugar if needed.
- Transfer the roast potatoes to the pan, fold them into the sauce, garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
