Spicy Curried Potato Dumplings

Potato balls in spicy curry sauce are hearty, spicy and aromatic. If you like the Indian cuisine, you will love this dish! The potato balls mainly consist of boiled potatoes and yellow lentils (red also work naturally). The easy-to-prepare red curry sauce gives the dish a very nice sharpness.

6. Then add the curry paste and the ginger and also fry briefly.
7. Add the tomatoes from the can, crush them a little with the cooking spoon and continue frying for a few minutes.
8. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and surge with a hand blender. Then place in the mixer back into the pan.
9. Add the coconut milk to the pan and stir. Season with salt or other preferred spices.

11. Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the sauce becomes thicker.
