Lightly Spiced Mustard Potatoes and Chickpeas

This is a quick and delicious meal. I usually make different variations but since I started this blog it’s the first time I made it so I thought I would post the recipe for today’s version.

I like mustard seeds, it adds crunch, flavour and ‘visible appeal’. They say you eat with your eyes first and for me mustard seeds make the dish much more appealing.

What I normally do is parboil the potato, either cooking it partially or fully, depending on my mood. 

Ingredients (for one person)

• 1 medium sized potato
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
• ½ teaspoon mixed spice such as curry powder
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

• Toast the mustard seeds
• Reduce heat to medium and add oil
• When hot add spice powder and garlic and cook until aromatic and garlic starts to brown
• Add cubed potatoes, chickpeas and salt
• Cook until tender, stirring occasionally. You can cook for longer till the potatoes turn crispy
