Indian Recipe: Aloo Chole (Chickpeas and Potatoes)

[thephleblady]

This dish looks fantastic! I am new to vegetarianism and I am not sure what to do with chickpeas, this recipe has given me a few ideas.....many thanks!

@thephleblady of course, glad to help! chickpea tacos are also yummy...I love to smash them up with a fork and add in mexican spices and jalapenos, so good!

I made my video, with a few distractions..thanks for being such an inspiration.

Love the look of your apartment. ^_^ Have you ever had this dish? If not, you should def. try it out! Other than the cheese..ugh. Hmm. I wonder what could be substituted in place of the dairy?

@RosElisabeth cool, I'll check it out! I use daiya and follow your heart as good vegan cheese alternatives. You could also make a "cashew cheese" by soaking cashews and blending them with seasonings and nutritional yeast. Its what I use for vegan alfredo sauce...its so good! thanks for the compliment on the apartment! I plan on doing an apartment tour video soon, I almost have the place how I want it now:)

Looks good. My favorite veggie meal could also be served as a side dish. It's called Baked Orzo. I'm making it for supper tonight.

Thinking I could make a food video on it, because it really is delicious.

Looks yummy! The only thing I would personally leave out would be the Cilantro. I've tried that and I don't like the taste at all. The rest looks tasty though. Personally I like my food very hot and always looking for new brands and bottles of hot sauce. I buy large jugs of hot jalapeno peppers and eat them right out of the jug. Habanero peppers are a bit brutal but I like to push it. OK OK so far I don't have the guts to eat a Bhut Jolokia but it's calling my name. Pain can be a challenge!

@MrZombieIsHungry Cilantro is a love or hate ingredient I've found. You could easily sub flat leaf parsley too, or fresh mint. I adore hot food! I tamed down this recipe quite a bit to make it a bit more accessible. I love adding fresh chiles and/or more cayenne pepper. you are braver than I! I don't think I could ever go that hot!

This looks amazing! I bet it would be good with some spinach wilted in at the end. Have you considered getting a rice cooker? I find that it is worth the investment, especially if you eat brown rice often, as it really cuts down on the cooking time.

[veggiebeauty]

@Catullus85 I really want one (we are very strapped for cash right now). I adore spinach, I love making a variation of this recipe with spinach actually, yum!

Nice Kitchen! So lucky you had all new appliances too. My best friend has a glass top and it's so much easier to clean. I love your red canisters too! This looks soooooo good. Can't wait to try it and I have a feeling I'll be hooked on that curry powder. Hope I can find it around my area ;p

Oohoohoo, yum!!
