Potato Curry with Kale, Green Pepper and Tahini

potato curry with kale, green pepper and tahini

The other night, my friend Alana came over to make dinner. We had decided to raid my fridge since I have so many vegetables from the CSA and the farmer’s market that I needed to finish before leaving on vacation to CA this week. We had limited time because we had tickets to go see a musical parody of the Golden Girls (I know you are all jealous!). We were having a jolly time pre-partying by watching copious amounts of Golden Girls episodes on my DVR, but before we knew it, it was almost time to go and we had not made a thing. I think that Golden Girls is probably my #1 reason for being late to places – the episodes are like quicksand!

Anyway, we somehow managed to get ourselves away from GG and each ended up making a dish. I made this potato curry that I will share and Alana made a squash curry that was oh so yummy. We were running so late that we just put some of each of the curries into tortillas with some yogurt and shared halfies in the taxi. All in all, I think it took us under an hour to make both and we made the show too so I can tell you this recipe is quick and tastes really good.

I love Middle Eastern food and when possible try to mix it with Indian recipes as I feel the two cuisines complement each other nicely. For this recipe, I have added some tahini paste and lime for a different variation on a typical North Indian curry. Tahini is ground up sesame seeds and I learned that it is very good for you because it is one of the most calcium rich foods. I try to incorporate it whenever possible because it adds a nice nutty flavor and smooth texture to a lot of dishes.

    I discovered your blog from Bitten on NYTimes, and I am super impressed! My parents are also from Karnataka so a lot of your recipes are very familiar from my childhood. I also love that you’re open to experimenting with other flavors added to Indian food. I tried this recipe and loved it! And I can’t wait to try more of your recipes.

    I’ve been making your recipes nearly every week–thank you for helping create culinary adventures for me and mine! I really *love* this potato kale wrap. I’m making it tonight, and I’m going to add the carrots I just harvested from my tiny organic garden here in San Francisco. So–thanks again! -Kenda
