Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel two medium potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
  3. Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until fork-tender, then turn off heat and let them sit in the hot water.
  4. While potatoes cook, heat vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add mustard seeds and wait until they begin to pop and sizzle.
  6. Add bay leaves, cardamom pods, and cloves to the hot oil and stir for a few seconds.
  7. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
  8. Stir in cumin seeds, coriander powder, and other whole spices, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  9. Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid, and add the chickpeas and their liquid to the skillet.
  10. Drain the boiled potatoes and add them to the skillet with the chickpeas.
  11. Sprinkle garam masala over the mixture and stir gently to combine.
  12. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  13. Check the tenderness of the potatoes; if they are still firm, add 1/4 cup water and cook for 2 more minutes.
  14. Season with salt to taste and serve hot.
