Very good - it needed a little more spice to make it "Curry", in my opinion, rather than "Curried Potatoes and Peas". So we doubled all of the spices (using fennel seed instead of ground fennel), added two tablespoons of cashew butter to cream it up, used fresh tomatoes and skipped the mint (we didn't have any). Also added in a chopped carrot. I served this over quinoa and garnished with fresh cilantro springs. We didn't have yoghurt, so I served with coconut milk seasoned with garam masala. This was a great recipe and we'll be making it again, thanks!

I started making some Indian dishes over the past couple of weeks and have tried about 5 recipes. This one is our favorite so far. It had the best flavor. I made it as directed, but doubled the recipe and added some fresh zucchini in place of part of the potatoes. I didn't have ground fennel, so I substituted fennel seed. I also added about 3/4 t salt. I did not serve it with the yogurt, but it was still very flavorful. Thanks for a great recipe. I will make it again.

I made this for dinner tonight and used white onion instead of brown. I also used dried mint which I checked with the chef to see if that was ok. I LOVED the "topping" that was served on the potatoes. THanks Miss Olivia!!!

Excellent and yummy. I didn't have ground fennel available so used anise instead.

Ah, Indian spices make even the humble potatoes and peas very tasty! I doubled the spices (save for cayenne) and might use even more garam masala the next time - yumm! Used about 2 tbls of oil (30 ml) which worked fine. Thanks for sharing!
