  • 3 large Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 15-ounce can coconut milk

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the potatoes and water.

Microwave on high until the potatoes are partly cooked, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large dry saute pan over medium-high, toast the cumin and cinnamon for 1 minute.

Add the coconut milk and curry paste, then bring to a simmer.
