Basic potato (Aloo) curry - if you can cook this you can cook almost any other Durban style curry

Boil 'em mash 'em stick 'em in a stew...
Potato curry or Aloo curry is possibly one of the most basic Durban style curries that transforms the humble potato or aloo into one of the meals that strikes a chord with almost all Indian households. Smashed potatoes and rice is how Indian children are introduced to curries and potato curry therefore hold great nostalgia as well!

1 small onion, sliced
curry leaves
1 small tomato
1 tbs mixed masala
1 tsp hurdee
1 tsp salt
Dhania to garnish

Serve with rice or perfect for roti rolls accompanied by some crunchy vegetable pickles

I love your laid back cooking style, no Master chef rushing.😋 I live in N.Z and have been nursing a Curry Leaf tree for 4 years now, every winter the leaves fall off but every spring they grow back again.
