Potato and Yellow Split Pea Curry

January 7, 2013 by Nancy Lopez-McHugh

Potato and Yellow Split Pea Curry Recipe (Vegan with Meat Option) by Spicie Foodie

Curry is ultimate winter comfort food. Many people think it can be difficult to make, but it really isn’t. One of the amazing things about curry is that you can use pretty much whatever is in your kitchen to cook into this healthy stew. For this recipe I used potatoes and some yellow split peas. The curry ended up being vegan and it fully satisfied our curry craving.

    I m loving the new looks… Nancy! Not a classic combination but nevertheless something that you can turn to for comfort- Potatoes and split yellow peas. Aint it? It should be absolute bliss to dunk in some pita or naan into this

    I know what you mean. I worked one day last week and I was away before that so I’ve been delaying going to work this morning. Returning to real life is hard sometimes. :)

    This healthy, comforting curry would be just the thing I need to get me going. Happy New Year, Nancy!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:45

    It’s windy, cloudy and grey here – I could use a bowl of that for lunch!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:45

    January 7, 2013 at 23:46

    I know what you mean about a post-holiday (food) funk! For these days, I would recommend reading this adorable but zen-ifying book: http://books.google.com/books/about/Eeyore_you_re_the_best.html?id=PAylnnZ4xZwC (I don’t know where you could find online text, but a mystery elf left a copy on my desk this morning b/c I’m a notorious Disney lover…thought I’d share the joy!)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:46

      Thanks Ala for the recommendation I’ll check it out soon.

    Delicious curry dish…I think I would devour the whole bowl of it…the pictures are so beautiful Nancy.
    Happy 2013 and have a great week ahead!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:47

    I can imagine it would be hard to get motivated when it’s cold and raining outside. Fortunately I don’t have that problem and since I have just had two weeks holiday from work, I have been able to completely change up my blog and now feel quite motivated. But the sunshine helps heaps.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:47

      That’s great and glad it is going well for you Suzanne. I need some sunshine to get me motivated.

  14. Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies says

    January 8, 2013 at 02:32

    Oh, I so want to try this one! Something about January makes me crave curries and legumes and potatoes. :D

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:48

      Thanks Kiersten and I hope you do soon.

    January 8, 2013 at 02:52

    A lovely warming dish I could easily eat without any accompaniments at all ! Loved the photography also: well, when don’t I on this blog :) !

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:48

      Yes, it would be good just on its own too Eha. Thank you:)

    Never heard of Indian red chile. Any substitute?

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:49

      You can use any dried chile or fresh chile of your choice. Enjoy:)

  17. anna says

    gorgeous curry. definitely need something warm and comforting for these january days…

    • Spicie Foodie says

    I totally know what you mean. This time of year is tough for me. The dark in the morning when I leave for work, and dark in the evening when I get home zaps my energy. I too, just want to curl up and read. I’d love to do that with this soup for lunch. Spring will come soon. :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:49

      Hi Kristi, Agh this grey dark days. I can’t wait for spring!

  19. Nami | Just One Cookbook says

    January 8, 2013 at 06:43

    I hear you. I took about 10 days off but my kids being off from school is actually more work for me and I am not sure if I had rest… lol. Now it’s time to catch up but it’s been a little hard. The cold weather, being sick, and lack of motivation (and it’s beginning of year too!). Hope we can cheer up each other. Well you did with this delicious looking curry! ;) I remember you said you love potatoes. Me too and so happy seeing a big chunk in this curry.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:51

      Nami you are my hero and I wish I had as much energy as you muster up. Yay for potatoes! :)

  20. Adora's Box says

    January 8, 2013 at 11:07

    We are all curry lovers here at home but my repertoire is quite limited. This recipe is so apt for now when we have all overdosed on meat in the holidays. Lovely dish, Nancy.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:52

      We too love our curry and it can be a challenge keeping things fresh sometimes. That’s when you have to experiment. Thank Adora!

  21. Ramona says

    January 8, 2013 at 12:13

    All I need is this curry and a bowl of brown rice… and I’m set. I have been working on a lot of fun food these first few days of the year… I guess I’m trying to make up to my family after we all got sick over Christmas. I do need to throw some healthier curries back into my diet.. otherwise it will not be a good year for my waistline. :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:53

      It would be perfect with some brown rice Ramona. I hope you are all feeling better now. Thanks!

    HI, your curry sure look very tempting and awesome. Excellent pictures, very well taken and lovely presentation. Nice to eat with french loaf.

    Have a nice day.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:53

      Thanks Ravie!

    Hi Nancy!
    Could I just dive right in to your bowl of curry (your photos and recipes just have that effect on me;-)
    All my very best wishes for a Happy New Year and I look forward to following your beautiful blog in 2013;-)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:54

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:54

    January 9, 2013 at 04:47

    It got so cold last week that I did sit around with a cup of hot tea or soup and read a good book! What a way to spend time off! This curry warms me up just looking at it. I can taste it and smell it looking at those beautiful pictures!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 9, 2013 at 14:55

    Gave this wonderful curry a go last night and I wasn’t disappointed! Unfortunately there’s no fresh coriander available in Slovakia at the moment. *Sob!* But we squeezed some lemon juice over the top instead and it was just divine. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. And your photographs are simply stunning! :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      May 10, 2013 at 16:18

      Hi Koren,
      Thank you, and glad to hear you enjoyed the curry. Lemon is a fantastic addition — I’ll try that next time. Thanks for stopping by!:)

  35. george madarasz says

    November 29, 2013 at 22:27

    I am confused. In the health benefits section you refer to cilantro, but the recipe does not contain this ingredient. Was there an omission in the recipe?

    • Spicie Foodie says

      December 1, 2013 at 12:56

      Hi George,

      Thank you for catching that, cilantro can be mixed in right before serving. Enjoy the curry!

  36. LAURA PRUITT says

    January 17, 2014 at 17:04

    I’m trying this recipe right now as we speak, it’s simmering.ewwww lala it is deliciono. I did add in the lemon because I read your constructive critics. I also added a 1 small smoke turkey kneck and I didn’t want to waist my celery so I added 2 1/2 strips. THEY MAKE GREAT VEGETABLE STOCK OR BROTH. Thanks!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 19, 2014 at 13:42

      Thank you Laura! Glad to hear you added your own personal touch.
