i am just trying this recipe right now. i made the potatoes the same size as in the picture, but it is taking a very long time for them to cook. maybe next time i might parboil them first before putting them in to cut down on cooking time. i hope the peas dont get too mushy!

This is my favourite curry. Nothing beats the taste of fresh peas.
