Purple Potato And Beef Curry {GF}
Eat different with this beef and purple potato curry.
Have you ever been led by colour when creating a dish? I am going to pretend that you said yes, jump up and down in my kitchen with an enthusiastic yes, me too, me too. It is soooooo normal right?
I have had this purple potato and beef curry recipe idea for three months. It all started when came across the fab Purple Majesty potatoes from Albert Bartlett. I promptly fell in love with their purpleness and knew that nothing but a purple based curry would do. There was the document on my computer about purple potato curry with star anise and cinnamon. Then the post-it on my kitchen wall with purple potato curry with beetroot sauce. Plus, the bathroom post-it with beef and cardamom scribbled on. It simmered for a long while.
And I am soooooo pleased to have finally made it, because it worked exactly like I wanted it to. Plus, the kitchen smelled so good with onion sautéed in the beef flavours along with star anise and cinnamon. Best smell ever. It is creamy, has warming spices, got the meat to keep Freddy happy, got the melt on your tongue potatoes and IS PURPLE. Yeap, totally purple. Overexcited? Yeap. Halloween supper sorted? Yeah.
I opted to cook this on a stove, but I reckon it would work equally well in a slow cooker and or oven. Especially if you are using tougher cuts of beef. Feel free to adapt the spices to your taste and serve with rice, bread and mild chutneys.
Oh and peeps, please to head over to British grown potato produces Albert Bartlett’s website. These guys bring us seriously good potatoes like these Purple Majesty potatoes, the nutty jersey royal new potatoes and Britain’s favourite potato aka the rooster.
The purple majesty potatoes are now available in selected Waitrose stores in November.

I’ve been looking for photos and articles on this topic over the past few days due to a school assignment, safetoto and I’m really happy to find a post with the material I was looking for! I bookmark and will come often! Thanks 😀
Wow that stew looks great! Purple potatoes sound fab. But I am thinking that rather than adding them into the stew, I might keep them separate and mash them on the side. Do you think that would still work?
I love the color of this dish! Yummy 🙂
I’ve seen purple potatoes in the store but never been persuaded to try them. I think I need to now! I like beets too!
Defo a way t0 add colour to your meals.
It’s always great when a recipe comes together just like you want it…kuddos..I tried purple potatoes one time and I think I made potato salad with them.

This is beautiful! Such a good use for purple potatoes to really bring out the color.
Yeap, they make me want to be much more creative. 🙂
