Preparation
Potato-Coconut Curry
In a large pot, heat the butter and oil and sauté the ginger, garlic, onion, cinnamon, and cumin with a pinch of salt.
Cook slowly on low to moderate heat without color, stirring occasionally.
When the onion is translucent and the ginger and garlic fragrant, add the curry powder, allspice, chili flakes, turmeric, and coriander. Continue to sauté on low for 1 minute, stirring constantly so the spices don’t burn.
Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring constantly, until the oil separates from the tomato, about 10 minutes.
Add the potatoes and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
Add the coconut milk, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and 5 cups water.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through,
Add the chickpeas, stir, bring to a simmer, and set aside.
Green Papaya and Mint Salad
In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, vinegar, oil, and until the honey has dissolved.
In a large bowl, toss together the papaya, onion, mint, radishes, and pickled pepper with the dressing, season with a little salt to taste.
To Serve
Heat the curry up to a simmer and place a 5-ounce portion in a bowl. Serve with a ½-cup portion of the Papaya Salad. Serve as-is or with steamed Coconut Rice.
