Potato and Poppy Seed Curry

Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 3 tbsp poppy seeds
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1.5 cups water

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and cube the 4 potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Soak the 3 tbsp poppy seeds in 1/4 cup warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.

2. 2

   In a blender, combine the soaked poppy seeds, 1 chopped onion, and 3 garlic cloves. Blend into a smooth paste, adding 1-2 tbsp water if needed.

3. 3

   Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the potato cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the poppy seed paste and 1 tsp turmeric. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly.

5. 5

   Pour in 1.5 cups water and add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

6. 6

   Uncover and simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce to your liking. Adjust salt if needed.

7. 7

   Serve hot with bread or rice.
