About Aloo Sadheko
Juni Foods identifies this Nepali potato salad as aloo ko achar or aloo sadheko. The selected version combines baby potatoes with red onion, fresh coriander and a sesame-based spice mixture.
Lemon juice gives a tangy edge to ginger, garlic and fresh chilli. Cumin, coriander and timmur add their aromatic notes, while fenugreek, turmeric and dried red chilli season the oil dressing.
The potatoes remain firm, tender pieces coated with the dressing and ground sesame. Fine onion and coriander provide contrasting fresh elements within the mixed salad.
