做法
- 干锅中小火炒芝麻 4 分钟至『噼啪』作响、转浅金色。冷却后用石臼捣成粗酱——油应当析出,质地略带油润而非粉状。
- 小锅热芥末油至刚冒烟——去除生味。下葫芦巴籽炒 10 秒至深褐。
- 把热油立刻浇在大碗里的土豆丁上,瞬间激出香气。
- 加芝麻酱、timur 粉、青辣椒、姜丝、蒜末、姜黄粉、柠檬汁、盐和洋葱片。最好用手抓拌 60 秒——土豆应当被芝麻芥末酱裹满。
- 尝味——应当尖酸、咸香,有 timur 的麻香与芝麻的暖底味。按需调盐与柠檬。
- 拌入香菜末。如用豌豆或鹰嘴豆就一起拌入。常温作 dal-bhat 拼盘的配菜。冷藏可放 3 天,味道越放越浓。

文化背景
Aloo achar 是尼泊尔的土豆凉拌——既是配菜、零嘴,也是分量足的开胃前菜。它出现在节庆拼盘(Dasain、Tihar)、纽瓦尔的 samay baji,以及每一张 dal-bhat 餐盘上。烤芝麻酱是尼泊尔标志——少了它,这道菜就只是调味的水煮土豆;有了它,味道才完整。现代变种会加豌豆和鹰嘴豆。芥末油+葫芦巴的炝锅手法在尼泊尔很多菜里都有,赋予这国饮食独特的风味底色。
