- 1 Potato (medium)

- Olive oil (for sautéing)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the core vegetables: potato, onion, and carrot. Wash them thoroughly, then cut them into rustic, bite-sized cubes, about 1.5 to 2 cm. Cutting them slightly chunky helps maintain a nice texture during cooking; avoid cutting them too small as they can become mushy.
Step 2
After dicing, drain any excess water from the vegetables and have them ready for cooking.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and carrots first. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they start to turn golden brown and slightly tender. Sautéing the base vegetables like this enhances their natural sweetness and builds a deeper flavor profile.
Step 4
Once the potatoes and carrots have begun to soften and release their aroma, add the chopped onion. Continue to sauté everything together until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
Step 5
Sauté the vegetables together for about another 5 minutes. You can test for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should go in easily. This stage helps to reduce excess moisture and concentrate the flavors.
Step 6
When the vegetables are tender, pour in 700ml of water. (It’s best to refer to the water amount specified on your ‘Curry Queen’ package for ideal consistency.) For an even richer taste, you can add the included ‘fond de veau’ (gravy base) from ‘Curry Queen’ or a little of your own stock. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Step 7
Once the curry base is boiling rapidly, stir in the ‘Curry Queen’ curry powder. Make sure to dissolve it completely with a spatula to prevent clumps.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until the curry reaches your desired thickness.
Step 9
Finally, if you prefer a spicier curry, add the spicy powder packet included with your ‘Curry Queen’ mix or a pinch of chili powder to taste. Stir well. This will give you a delightfully hearty and slightly fiery curry. A dash of black pepper is also a nice addition.
Step 10
Serve hot over steamed rice. Enjoy this comforting and delicious meal that’s sure to be a hit with everyone!
