STEPS

1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and peel.

2

Place cooked potatoes in a bowl. Add cornstarch, ground ginger, cumin, cayenne, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork. Oil hands slightly, divide potato mixture into 4 portions, and shape into patties about 1/3-inch thick.

3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry potato cakes until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.

4

Grind the peppercorns and cloves using a mortar and pestle.

5

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in dried chile peppers, cumin seeds, and bay leaves. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until onion turns golden, about 5 minutes.

6

Add ground pepper-clove mix, curry powder, and turmeric. Mix tomato paste with water, stir diluted paste and chopped tomato into the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the tomato softens, about 5 minutes.

7

Stir in chickpeas and simmer on low for 10 minutes.

8

Place potato cakes on a plate. Spoon chickpea sauce on top and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
