Instructions

1.
First, prepare the coconut rice. Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly in a sieve until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, coconut flakes and Jersey milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.
2.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the curry. Melt the Jersey butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped red chili to the pot. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
4.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric powder, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to bloom the spices.
5.
Add the halved or quartered Jersey Royal potatoes to the pot. Stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
6.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth (or water). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7.
Bring the curry to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
8.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until they are heated through.
9.
Stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
10.
Serve the Jersey Royal potato and pea curry hot over the coconut rice. Garnish with fresh coriander.

Chef's Tips

For a creamier curry, add a dollop of Jersey cream at the end.

If you like a spicier curry, add more chili or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Use other seasonal vegetables such as spinach, green beans, or cauliflower.

To toast the coconut flakes for the rice, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning.
