Follow The Directions

01

Step

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and peel.

02

Step

Place cooked potatoes into a bowl and add cornstarch, ginger, cumin, cayenne, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mash together with a fork. Oil your hands with a little vegetable oil and divide the potato mixture into 4 equal portions. Pat each portion into a potato patty about 1/3-inch thick.

03

Step

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry potato cakes until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and keep warm.

04

Step

Grind peppercorns and cloves with a mortar and pestle.

05

Step

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in red chile peppers, cumin, bay leaves. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add pepper-clove mixture, curry powder, and turmeric.

06

Step

Mix tomato paste with water. Stir diluted tomato paste and tomato into the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the tomato has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

07

Step

Spoon chickpea sauce over the potato cakes and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the chickpea curry before serving.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference.
Garnish with a dollop of yogurt for a cooling contrast to the spices.

    I found it helpful to use a non-stick skillet when frying the potato cakes to prevent sticking.
