Instructions

1.
**Prepare the Chickpea and Potato Curry:** Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
2.
Add grated ginger and minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
3.
Add diced potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.
Stir in chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, chili powder, and aamchur (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
5.
Add drained and rinsed chickpeas and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt to taste.
6.
**Prepare the Bhature:** While the curry is simmering, prepare the bhature according to package instructions, or if using pre-made bhature, simply heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
7.
Fry the bhature one at a time until golden brown and puffed up on both sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Drain on paper towels.
8.
**Assemble the Breakfast Bowl:** Divide the chickpea and potato curry into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
9.
Serve each bowl with a side of hot, fluffy bhature.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the chopped tomatoes.

Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.

If you don't have aamchur, you can substitute it with a squeeze of lemon juice.

For a vegan option, ensure your garam masala doesn't contain any dairy products (some brands do).

You can prepare the chickpea and potato curry a day ahead of time and reheat it before serving. The flavors will meld together even more overnight.
