Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 250 grams Chickpeas (cooked or canned)
- 100 grams Red lentils
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 500 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chili. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the ginger, garlic, and green chili to the pot. Stir fry for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
Add chopped tomatoes, along with the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture, around 5 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes, chickpeas, and red lentils to the pot. Stir everything well to coat the potatoes and chickpeas with the spices.
Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and lentils are cooked through.
Check the consistency. If you'd like a thicker curry, let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
Stir in the garam masala and let it cook for another 2 minutes. Adjust salt according to taste.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with rice or roti for a complete high-protein meal.
