Instructions
- Blend together the ginger, garlic, half green chili, coriander, cumin and paprika with 2-3 tbsp of water until smooth.
- Heat oil in a regular skillet or kadai over medium high heat. Add cinnamon stick and bay leaf and cook for a few seconds. Add the blended mixture to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Blend the tomatoes into a puree and add to the skillet, cook for 4 minutes or until garlic smell isnt raw.
- Add the chickpeas, potatoes, 1 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add in the peppers, ginger, paprika, lemon juice, half a green chili chopped and garam masala, if using. (You can also add in 1/2 a teaspoon amchur (mango powder) and 1/2 a teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (or 1/8 tsp powder) for variation.) Mix well. Add more water if needed.
- Cover and cook for 2 mins. Taste and adjust the salt and heat. Garnish with sliced onion, chopped tomato, smoked paprika/cayenne and a dash of lemon juice and cilantro. Serve with rice or flatbread or make wraps.
Notes
- You can make this dish with just chickpeas and peppers, i.e use chickpeas instead of potatoes or add other veggies instead of potato.
- Instant Pot: Follow steps 1,2,3 on saute mode. You will need to stir more so that the tomato puree doesnt stick. Add the chickpeas, potato, water and salt and mix really well to pick up any stuck bits. Close the lid and pressure cook for 4 minutes. Let the pressure release for 5 mins, then quick release. Add the peppers, ginger,paprika, lemon juice, half a green chili chopped and garam masala and mix in. Saute for a minute if needed to slightly often the bell peppers. Garnish and serve,
