Made chickpea curry with potato last night. Recipe called for less potato, but my potatoes were starting to become sentient beings so I had to put them to use… And who doesn’t love potatoes?!
Definitely on the spicy side, so I’d start with less cayenne and add more to taste. Probably didn’t help that I used Malaysian curry powder, but it was still delicious and not painful. I’d consider using a bit of coconut cream next time to make up more sauce and mellow the spice for a nice creamy texture.
Highly recommend using a waxy potato so it holds together.
It makes a lot of leftovers. I think the recipe says 5 servings, but it’ll do far more than that.

Ah, when I was previously looking, I was looking at the oven-type. The one that keeps popping up is the Phillips one, and I think it’s ugly af. I’ve seen the inside of some of them and people either don’t clean them or it’s not very easy to clean?
Good tip, thank you!
If you’re cooking things like tube meats and these things they are going to start pooling massive amounts of fat. The ability to remove the entire inside and put it in your sink is going to be vital to keeping it clean and no matter how easy it is to use a tray there is going to be fat that ends up in the bottom of the device. And those toaster oven format ones don’t always come with removable bottoms. And then there’s that glass window that’s also going to be a cleaning nightmare.
I really wanted the toaster oven format for large batches. But I just could not justify it after looking at all the details.
I hear ya. Thanks for all the tips! It’s just me and my partner, so really, how big of a unit do we need anyway.
