The big ones, not the 6-inch ones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Let&#8217;s do it!<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>In a medium sized soup pot, heat up the coconut oil over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li>Add the onions and curry powder and stir for a couple of minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Add the potatoes and let them fry on the bottom of the pan. Stirring once in a while, maybe cook for 4 more minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Add garlic and fry for 1 minute.<\/li>\n<li>Add the coconut milk and stir. Bring this to simmer and cover.<\/li>\n<li>I like my potatoes really soft, so I simmered this for about half an hour.<\/li>\n<li>When the potatoes are cooked through, add the frozen spinach and stir to combine.<\/li>\n<li>Once that&#8217;s all nice and simmering again, add salt or fish sauce to taste. Personally, I think fish sauce and curry are a winning combination, but not all of us like fish sauce. So you may have salt.<\/li>\n<li>Add more curry powder if you think it needs it. I love a ton of spice.<\/li>\n<li>At this point, I also added about 1\/2 teaspoon of my homemade &#8220;hot sauce&#8221;, which is actually just fresh red chilli peppers, garlic, salt and vinegar blended. It&#8217;s crazy hot and doesn&#8217;t really change the flavour of anything. It just adds heat.<\/li>\n<li>Add the frozen peas, stir to combine. Turn off the stove and cover. Nothing worse than overcooked peas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Lunch it up!<\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">You can assemble this at home, or you can bring the tortilla and curry separately. I like to keep things separate (therefore, less soggy). Put the big tortilla on a big plate, spoon some curry into the middle, then roll up into a neat little package.
