Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 50g carrot
- 1.5 Tbsp curry powder
- 0.5 Tbsp coarse salt
- A little cooking oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients needed for this dish. Peel and julienne the potatoes and carrot.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes, peel them, and then julienne them into thick strips, about 0.5 cm thick. If they are too thin, they might break apart while stir-frying, so aim for a moderate thickness.
Step 3
Add 0.5 Tbsp of coarse salt to the julienned potatoes and mix thoroughly. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture. This step helps the potatoes maintain their shape and absorb flavor well during stir-frying.
Step 4
Salting the potatoes beforehand prevents them from breaking apart during cooking and ensures the seasoning penetrates deeply, improving the texture of the stir-fry.
Step 5
Julienne the carrot into thick strips, similar to the potatoes. Carrots add color and a hint of sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine 1.5 Tbsp of curry powder with 2 Tbsp of water. Mix well until smooth and lump-free. Mixing the curry powder with water beforehand prevents clumping and ensures the seasoning coats the potatoes evenly.
Step 7
Drain the water that has been drawn out from the potatoes after salting, either by using a sieve or by gently squeezing them with your hands. Excess water can dilute the flavor of the stir-fry.
Step 8
Heat a little cooking oil in a heated pan and add the julienned potatoes. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the potatoes start to turn translucent. Then, cover the pan and cook for about 2 more minutes. Once the potatoes are somewhat cooked and translucent, add the julienned carrots and stir-fry together.
Step 9
When the potatoes and carrots are almost tender, pour the prepared curry powder mixture into the pan. Gently mix to ensure the seasoning coats all the ingredients evenly.
Step 10
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes. This allows the curry flavor to fully infuse into the potatoes and carrots, creating a delicious curry potato stir-fry. Be careful not to overcook, as the potatoes can become mushy.
Step 11
Turn off the heat. Finally, add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and a pinch of toasted sesame seeds, and mix lightly. Your aromatic Curry Potato Stir-fry is complete! It’s delicious served warm and still tastes great even when cooled – a truly versatile side dish.
