Notes and Instructions
Adapted from http://www.fairtradecookbook.org.uk/recipes/curried_potatoes.html
Using a slightly different curry blend, this is a spicy, beautiful red –orange dish. I imagine in Uganda this would probably be made with under‐ripe plantains but how wonderful to find a recipe that uses potatoes!! This one may become a regular addition to your dinners. If you like things less spicy, reduce the amount of cayenne.
