This Chickpea and Potato Curry, also known as Chana Aloo, is a flavorful North Indian dish made with chickpeas, red potatoes, and a rich mix of spices. It’s a delicious, vegetarian curry that’s perfect when served with rice and a dollop of yogurt to balance the heat.

Ingredients

  • Spice Mix: curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, all spice, nutmeg, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried fenugreek leaves, cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Other Ingredients: vegetable oil, diced onion, minced garlic, red potatoes, canned chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, green onions, freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot and sauté onions and garlic until fragrant.
  • Add the spice mix and cook for one minute.
  • Add potatoes and coat them in the spice mixture.
  • Pour in broth, crushed tomatoes, and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in green onions and parsley, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with Basmati or Jasmine rice and a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

If you prefer a milder curry, omit the cayenne pepper. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen for 3 months.
