A fragrant and creamy vegetarian curry featuring the unique flavour of Jersey Royal potatoes and seasonal spring vegetables, simmered in a rich coconut milk and spice broth.
Heat Jersey butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the white parts of the spring onions, garlic, ginger, and chili (if using) and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander powder. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to release the aromas.
Add the Jersey Royal potatoes and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender.
Add the asparagus and frozen peas. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the peas are heated through.
Stir in the green parts of the spring onions and Jersey milk (if using). Heat through for another minute.
Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice, naan bread, or roti.

This curry can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavours will meld together even more over time.
