This is a real flyer. We found a recipe for a spinach and potato curry that was intended to be a side dish, that we added the beans and changed the cooking technique on to make it more of an entree. We love currys and don't have a good spinach and potato one that's good for you. When you take risks, sometimes the outcome isn't what you plan. This was FAR hotter than we anticipated or even like and we had to make some rice to make it tame enough for our palates. This is most impressive as we added the beans to the recipe and didn't add anything spicy! Imagine the original! Anyway, the flavors under the spice are excellent, so the posted recipe is edited to dial down the spice and incorporate our other changes. It was ok tonight, but we think this is actually a real winner. Let us know if you try it!

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Potato, cilantro
Time: 30 minutes (maybe less with our changes)
Make ahead: Yep. I think that would be fine.

Reaction
J: "A good start on a great curry."
M: "This is going to be good."
