A vibrant and flavorful vegan curry showcasing the unique taste of Jersey Royal potatoes alongside a medley of fresh, seasonal spring vegetables in a creamy coconut milk broth. This recipe uses local Jersey ingredients wherever possible for the freshest flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to release the aromas.
Add the halved or quartered Jersey Royal potatoes and stir to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender.
Add the asparagus and broad beans to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir in the coconut milk and spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice.
Garnish with fresh coriander and the sliced green parts of the spring onions.
Serve hot with rice or naan bread (if not avoiding gluten).

Adjust the amount of curry powder and green chili to suit your preferred level of spice.
If you don't have broad beans, you can substitute with frozen peas.
For a richer flavor, use a high-quality coconut milk with a higher fat content.
The curry can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will meld together even more.
Serve with a dollop of coconut yogurt or a squeeze of lime for extra tang.
