Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by peeling and chopping the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and finely slicing the onions. Gather your spices.
  2. Caramelize Onions: In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 15 minutes until golden brown.

  4. Add Potatoes: Introduce chopped potatoes, stirring to coat them with the onion and spice mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Simmer: Pour in enough water or broth to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

  7. Finish: In the last 5 minutes, add chopped tomatoes or chickpeas if using, and stir well before serving.
