This flavorful Red Potato Mushroom Curry is made with simple pantry staples. Its an easy family friendly entree. Along with being vegan, its nutritious and comforting.
Usually I avoid potatoes in my recipes due to its high carb content but red potatoes are hard to resist.
Its crispy taste and less mushy texture tempt me to cook red potatoes at least once a week for dinner.

How to make Red Potato Mushroom Curry
- For this I roasted the red potatoes in a preheated oven and sauteed mushrooms.
- I decided to make the base of the gravy with white sesame seeds as the main ingredient and blended it with tomato paste (store bought). I used tomato paste instead of fresh tomatoes to thicken the gravy a bit and to add a strong tangy flavor to it.
- Then, I processed onions, ginger, and garlic.
- Thereafter, Before assembling the entire, I decided to flavor the warm oil with fresh thyme herb to give this recipe a fusion essence and seasoned with minimum spices.
- Now, To make this entree vegan friendly I added coconut milk for a smooth silky taste
- Lastly, I served it warm with steamed rice and naan.
My family devoured every bite of this meal and requested me to add this recipe to my weekly meal plan.
I should make it at least twice every month. I was delighted to receive such warm appreciation from them.
Therefore, I highly recommend you to try this out and make your week night dinner more interesting as well as healthy. 🙂

- Place the sliced potatoes on the cookie sheet and put it in the middle rack of the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
- In the meanwhile heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a nonstick pan and saute mushrooms.
- If the mushrooms dry up spray it with cooking spray to moisten the mushrooms. Cook them until nice golden brown in color.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, combine onion, tomato paste, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds into the food processor and grind smooth.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked take them out in a bowl and add another 1 tbsp. olive oil in the same pan.
- Now add thyme and cilantro to the warm oil. Immediately add the sesame seeds paste to it and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the paste starts sticking to the pan.

- If this curry left for long it might thicken a little in that case just add little coconut milk according to desired consistency and adjust the seasonings.

Oh, how I wish my husband would eat curry (and mushrooms) because this looks absolutely divine! Will save this for a dinner party!
I always have potatoes in my pantry for an emergency side dish, but lately I’ve gotten stuck in the regular old’ (and boring old) garlic butter rut. I don’t typically cook with curry so I’m excited to give this recipe a try.
Thank you Sola. Hope you like this entree.

Thank you Willow.
