If you think all potato salads are creamy and heavy, it's time to get your potato fix Nepali style with Aloo Sadeko. This quick recipe transforms boiled potatoes into a spicy, tangy pickle bursting with flavor - perfect as a light snack or a zesty side with your evening chai.

Aloo Sadeko is a popular Nepali dish made by roasting dry red chillies, Sichuan pepper, cumin, and sesame seeds to create a fragrant spice mix.
