A quick and easy recipe for a weeknight dinner, this Kerala Style Potato Curry with Coconut Milk is mildly spiced with subtle flavors of the coconut milk and spices coming through.

It is also an excellent Vegan recipe to make alongside rice, rotis or any other kind of bread.

Kerala Style Potato Curry with Coconut Milk

The ten days of Navarathri are days of fasting. Different people do the fasting different ways. What we do in our family is to not eat meat / eggs (eggs in my case, as I don’t eat meat) or drink alcohol. I tried the no onion, no garlic deal like my parents do, but I just could not do it. So we chose this diet for our fasting and we have stuck to this for a few years now.

This potato curry with coconut milk is a modification of my Kerala Style Egg Curry except without the egg but potatoes instead. And it kinda makes it a Vegan Potato Curry recipe as well. I changed up the spice mix just a little bit, but for the most part this is very similar to the egg curry and tastes like it too. I added some khus khus / white poppy seeds to the spice mix, so it has a little bit of the kurma flavor also, especially when combined with the coconut milk.

A great dinner recipe, to go with your rotis. Make a drier veggie side, if you want to. I made this Kothavaranga Usili and some mixed baby greens salad to go with it.
