Spicy vegan potato curry, delicious and creamy potato, with carrots, chickpeas and green peas.
I had to share this spicy vegan potato curry recipe because I recently made it for a large crowd and it was finished in no time. The host requested that I make it again for the next event. I love curries and growing up in Jamaica, we ate curries a whole lot (curry chicken, curry goat were popular!. This curry is creamy and delicious, it’s very hearty with potatoes, carrots, chickpeas and green peas. This recipe is suitable for large crowds, it’s easy to make and great for even the strictest meat eater.
