Potato and Chickpea Stew
4 servings
60 minutes
Potato and chickpea stew is a warm, spicy dish rooted in European culinary traditions with hints of Indian spices. Potatoes sautéed with garlic, ginger, and aromatic spices develop a golden crust, while chickpeas add richness and a tender texture. Tamarind chutney gives the dish a sweet-sour tanginess, and crispy chickpea noodles and fresh onions complete the flavor palette. This dish is perfect for cozy home dinners and easily adapts to different taste preferences. Its rich, warming flavor makes the stew an ideal choice in cool weather, while its abundance of protein and fiber makes it not only tasty but also nutritious.
