Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to sizzle and pop.
Step 4
Stir in the curry leaves, chopped onions, and green chilies. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Step 5
Add grated ginger and turmeric powder. Stir for about 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant.
Step 6
Add the diced potatoes to the pan, mixing well to coat them with the spice mixture.

Add salt and about 1/4 cup of water. Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook for about 10 minutes over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Uncover the pan and stir in the drained chickpeas. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, allowing any excess moisture to evaporate and the potatoes to cook fully.
