About Borani Kachaloo
Chef Maryam’s Borani Kachaloo is an Afghan potato dish with tomato, onion and a garlicky yogurt topping. Her version layers tender potato slices with yogurt and their spiced sauce.
Curry powder, paprika and chilli flakes give the potatoes a savoury, lightly spicy character. Yogurt adds a cool-tasting tang, while garlic runs through both the sauce and topping.
Fresh coriander and dried mint finish the layered plate. The potatoes are cooked until tender, with sauce and yogurt spread beneath and over them rather than a crisp coating.
