Directions Black Chana with Potato
Directions
-
Sort and clean chickpeas and wash them under cold water, drain. Combine chickpeas, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and baking soda in a large bowl, add 1 quart water. Soak chickpeas for 24 hours, drain.
Combine onion, garlic, and ginger in a blender, add 3 tablespoons water. Blend mixture at high speed until a smooth paste forms.
Heat vegetable oil in a 4-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida, cook and stir until asafoetida expands and cumin seeds darken, about 1 minute. Stir onion paste into cumin mixture, taking great care to avoid splattering. Cook and stir mixture until well mixed and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir chickpeas, potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into onion-cumin mixture, add 2 cups water. Bring liquid to a boil and cover pot, reduce heat and gently simmer for 1 hour. Stir tamarind paste into chickpea mixture, cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes more.
