Step up to the plate
Curried tatties & soft boiled egg
METHOD
1 Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7.
2 Slice the potatoes into rounds roughly 5mm thick and thickly slice the onions. Toss on your largest roasting tray with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 2 tablespoons of the curry powder and the nigella or cumin seeds. Season well, then spread out into a roughly single layer.
3 roast for 20 minutes before removing the onions and setting aside on a plate. return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Once boiling, drop in the eggs and cook for 6 minutes, then rinse under cold water and peel. Set a timer – you want the eggs soft and jammy.
5 Zest and juice the lemon into a bowl. Add the ManiLife peanut butter and remaining curry powder. Stir to loosen, then mix in the yoghurt. Season to taste.
6 Come back to the potatoes. flip them over then add the kale to the tray. drizzle over the remaining oil and season then return the tray to the oven for 5 to 8 minutes until both the potatoes and kale are crisp.
7 finely slice the chilli and spoon the yoghurt mixture across the base of each plate.
8 To serve, top the yoghurt with the curried potatoes, kale and onions. Place the egg alongside then scatter over some nigella or cumin seeds and the sliced chilli.
