Notes

Adjust the red chili powder, curry powder as per taste preference.
Few brands of curry powder include red chilies. So please check the ingredient list before adding red chili powder.
Curry powder can be replaced with garam masala in this recipe.
Coconut milk can be replaced with almond or cashew milk in this recipe to enrich the flavors of curry.
Always cook on medium heat until the peas and potato are cooked well.
Make small cubes of potato and do not over cook them. If the potato is over cooked they become mushy and loose its texture.
If the curry thickens, add water and adjust consistency as required.
