Ingredients
2 medium sized potato
1 can chickpeas
2 heaping tablespoons of achar: Ahmed mixed pickle … if can’t find Ahmed, National mixed pickle. If not that, Shan. Don’t get Patak.
1 tablespoon kolanji (black onion seeds)
1 tsp red chili powder (I’d up this to 1.5 next time)
1/2 tsp haldi (turmeric)
1.5 tsp salt
2 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Wash potatoes, then peel, then chop. Feel free to leave a little skin
- Put oil in pot heat over medium until hot.
- Add potato, all chickpeas, kolanji, mix up. Add laal mirchi, haldi, salt, mix up.
- Add enough water to just barely cover everything
- I added the chickpeas with the liquid in the can, so only took another can’s worth of water for me
- Cover and cook over medium heat.
- Check in ~20 minutes, potato should be soft (chickpeas too). Once potato is soft, add 2 very full tablespoons of achar. As soon as you add achar, it’ll thicken.
- Cook for 1-2 more minutes after added achar. If it hasn’t thickened, cook for a little longer until it thickens.
