(4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil) (TIP: Add more curry paste if you prefer more spice.)
Add potatoes, corn, broth concentrate, coconut milk, and 1½ cups water to pot with aromatics. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2½ cups water)
