Ingredients
-
1 cup dried black chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
-
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
1 quart water
-
1 onion, chopped
-
1 clove garlic, chopped, or more to taste
-
1 (1 inch) piece chopped fresh ginger
-
3 tablespoons water
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
-
2 pinches asafoetida powder
-
4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1 teaspoon garam masala
-
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
2 cups water
-
3 tablespoons tamarind paste, or more to taste
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 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 in onion paste, taking great care to avoid splattering. Cook and stir until well mixed and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir chickpeas, potatoes, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne pepper into onion-cumin mixture; add 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and cover the pot; reduce heat and gently simmer for 1 hour.
-
Stir in tamarind paste. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes more.
