Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes, cubed
  • 1⁄4 cup of sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoons of turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons of cumin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons of ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon of fenugreek
  • 1 tablespoon of chili powder
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 1 knob (1-inch) of ginger, minced
  • 2 to 3 Thai chilies, sliced
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of tamarind paste
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) of chickpeas, drained
  • 3⁄4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3⁄4 cup of fresh mint, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method

Step 1

Boil the cubed potatoes in a large saucepan over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the sunflower oil and add turmeric, cumin seeds, ground coriander, fenugreek, and chili powder. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions, minced ginger, sliced chilies, tamarind paste, and boiled potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and infused with flavors.

Step 4

Incorporate the drained chickpeas into the skillet and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro, mint, and a generous squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 6

Serve the flavorful concoction alongside your choice of basmati rice, quinoa, naan, or chapati, complemented by a side of tangy tamarind chutney.

Nutrition Notes

  • Vatas:

    Enhance the dish by omitting fenugreek and using alternatives like olive oil, coconut oil, or ghee.

  • Pittas:

    Reduce or exclude chili powder, onions, ginger, and chilies for a milder flavor profile.

  • Kaphas:

    Elevate the dish with additional spices or tamarind, and a touch of raw honey for added sweetness.

Seasonal Sensations

This dish is particularly delightful during late winter and spring, offering a symphony of tastes including astringent, bitter, pungent, salty, sour, and sweet.
