Dishoom's Aloo Sabzi

Dishoom's Aloo Sabzi

Here's a delicious recipe for a vegetarian Indian meal using hickpeas and potatoes.   The recipe is drawn from Dishoom, considered by many to be London's best Indian restaurant.

This meal was really nice.  What I have come to love about Indian cooking is the recipes call for numerous, different spices and items, and they are assembled in a process. It’s not uncommon, for example, to heat oil and toast seeds or brown garlic and fresh ginger for 30 sec - 1 min, then remove it all from heat, and to add it back later in the process.  And this recipe asked for like 1tsp Amchur, 1/2 tsp Deggi Mirch (Kashmir Chili), a squeeze of lime, some cilantro stems, etc etc.  We have all of the items.  It's fun to cook!  Delicious to eat.

Here a link to the online recipe and here are the basics:
