# Nepalese Potato Salad ("Aloo Achar") | ||
|
||
 | ||
|
||
## Intro | ||
|
||
"Aloo Achar" is a classic Nepalese dish commonly served with as part of lunch or also as a starter at dinner parties. The crunchier vegetables are often varied according to taste (or family recipe!) but the dressing remains largely the same. | ||
|
||
## Ingredients (10 people) | ||
|
||
* 20 x potatoes | ||
* 1 x cucumber (sliced lengthwise and diced into 2cm pieces) | ||
* 5 carrots (diced finely) | ||
* 1 bunch of green coriander (chopped finely) | ||
* 1 desert spoon of chilli powder | ||
* 1 desert spoon of salt | ||
* 4 x desert spoons of mustard oil | ||
* 500g green peas (defrosted if frozen, washed in warm water) | ||
* 200g sesame seeds | ||
* 1 desert spoon Ffenugreek | ||
* 1 teaspoon turmeric | ||
* 4 tablespoons vinegar (or lemon juice) | ||
* 1 cup of vegetable oil (or sunflower oil) | ||
|
||
## How to do it | ||
|
||
Boil the potatoes until soft then peel and cut into small pieces. | ||
|
||
Fry the sesame seeds (without oil) until they brown. Wait to cool and grind the seeds into a powder using a grinder machine (or pestle and mortar). | ||
|
||
In a large bowl mix the potatoes, cucumber, green peas, coriander, carrots and the powdered sesame seeds | ||
|
||
Add to the bowl 1 small cup of water, vinegar, all of the salt and mix again. | ||
|
||
Add chilli powder and turmeric and mix again. | ||
|
||
Meanwhile fry the fenugreek in hot oil until it has darkened and pour the mixture into the bowl as well. | ||
|
||
Mix the contents of the bowl, leave for a few minutes and serve immediately. | ||
