Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Heat the canola oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté for about 10 seconds, until fragrant.

02

Step
7 mins

Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic to the saucepan. Sauté until the onion is softened and slightly browned, about 5-8 minutes.

03

Step
0 mins

Stir in the ground coriander and cook for another 20 seconds, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromas.

04

Step
18 mins

Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, vegetable broth (or water), cubed red potato, 1 tablespoon of minced cilantro, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.

05

Step
1 mins

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

06

Step
2 mins

Stir in the cubed tomato and increase the heat to medium. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the tomato is heated through and slightly softened.

07

Step

Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy hot with a side of crusty bread or rice.

For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water.
Adjust the amount of spices to your liking. A pinch of chili flakes can add a pleasant kick.
This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together.
Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers, or spinach, to the stew.
