750g kipfler potatoes, cut into 1.5cm pieces
1/2 cup (125ml) ghee
1/2 cup (125ml) sunflower oil
1/2 cup (125ml) sunflower oil
3 garlic cloves, sliced
3 long green chillies, seeds removed, thinly sliced
12 curry leaves, plus extra to serve
2 tbs curry powder
400ml coconut water
1/2 cup (125ml) coconut cream
Thinly sliced red onion rings and shredded spring onions, to serve
Star Fruit Sambol
2 starfruit, sliced into stars
2 starfruit, sliced into stars
2 starfruit, sliced into stars
1/4 tsp chilli powder
11/2 tbs sunflower oil
Place the potato in a saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender, then drain and refresh in iced water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, for sambol, combine starfruit and 2 tsp salt in a bowl. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to draw out excess liquid. Rinse and drain. Combine in a bowl with ginger, garlic and chilli. Heat oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add starfruit and 1 tbs water and cook for 15 minutes or until caramelised. Remove and set aside.
Heat 1/3 cup (80ml) ghee and 1/3 cup (80ml) oil in a wok over high heat. In batches, fry the potatoes, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
Repeat with remaining potatoes. Discard oil and wipe pan clean. Return pan to medium heat with remaining 2 tbs each ghee and oil. Cook eschalot and garlic for 5 minutes or until golden. Reduce heat to low, then add chilli and curry leaves.
Cook for 1 minute or until leaves are crispy (reserve some leaves to serve). Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until fragrant. Add coconut water, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes or until reduced by two-thirds.
Add coconut cream, bring to the boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
Return potatoes to curry and stir to coat.
Top up curry with onion rings, spring onion and curry leaves. Serve with sambol.
