Potato Achaar
Achaars are a kind of nepali sidedish and a flavourful addition to every meal. This one was described as Potato-salad by my german relatives, and it kind of fits.
Ingredients
- 4-5 Potatoes, boiled and diced
- Cucumber, diced
- 1 Tbsp Turmeric
- 3 spoons of Brown Sesame or Niger Seeds, dry roasted and ground
- Fenugreek seeds
- Szechuanpepper
- 1 Lemon
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes and mix them with the cucumber, add the Turmeric in one spot.
- Heat 3 Tbsp of oil in a pan and roast the fenugreek seeds until they turn black. You might be tempted to add less oil, but it needs quite a lot.
- Once the seeds have become black, pour it over the turmeric with the hot oil. It should give a satisfying fzzzz. Mix in the sesame powder.
- Add Salt, Szechuanpepper, Lemon. Balance the three ingredients so that each is present in the taste but does not overshadow the others.
