Ingredients

  • 2 large potato
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1 onion
  • 6 garlic
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp coriander powder

Instructions

  • Let's talk about delicious dish Aloo Chole Masala, it is exactly what you need! This delicious dish combines soft, tender potatoes, chickpeas, and a tangy, spiced gravy that hits all the right notes. Here's how to make it.
  • Start by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add 1 large diced onion and 6 minced garlic cloves.
  • Saut for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and turns golden, filling your kitchen with that mouthwatering aroma.
  • Next, stir in 1 teaspoon each of red pepper flakes, turmeric, ground coriander, and cumin seeds. Cook for 2-3 minutes to let the spices release their flavors.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and let it cook for a minute to deepen the flavors. Then, pour in 4 cups of apple juice. It might seem unexpected, but the apple juice adds a lovely balance of sweetness and tang that perfectly complements the spices.
  • Toss in 2 large unpeeled potatoes, diced into small chunks, and 1 can of drained chickpeas. These are the heart and soul of the dish. Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar for a hint of sweetness, a bay leaf for extra depth, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a fresh, zesty finish.
  • Let the curry simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The potatoes should soften and the sauce will thicken into a rich, flavorful gravy.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, remove the bay leaf and give everything one last stir.
  • Serve your aloo chole masala over warm, fluffy rice for the perfect comforting meal.
