Some money-saving tips for food

I'm going to post the recipe for the dopiazeh aloo here. It was a fairly simple thing to make.

I use a slap chopper thingy to cut ingredients because it cuts prep time down to maybe 5 minutes for me.. which is helpful on painful days.

If anyone wants more details or has questions, please let me know.

Otherwise, this was a fairly cheap and easy meal and it's made enough for a few days. I think it would probably freeze ok as well.

Ingredients:
3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large tomato, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried lime powder (optional)
1/2 cup water or vegetable broth
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Directions:
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Stir in garlic, turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the potatoes and stir to coat them with the spices.

Pour in the tomatoes and water or broth. Stir well.

Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft and the sauce thickens.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in dried lime powder if using.

Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve warm with rice or flatbread.
