Aloo Sandheko
A classic and flavorful Nepali salad, Aloo Sandheko is a deliciously spiced potato dish that’s light, tangy, and bursting with local flavors. Boiled potatoes are diced and tossed with thinly sliced onions, fresh coriander, green chilies, spring onions, and juicy tomatoes. The salad is then seasoned with a blend of traditional Nepali spices like timur (Sichuan pepper), cumin, chili powder, turmeric, and salt, and finished with a splash of fresh lemon juice or lime for a zesty kick. Often tempered with a hot oil tadka of mustard seeds, fenugreek, and garlic to deepen the flavor, Aloo Sandheko is served cold or at room temperature — a perfect snack, appetizer, or side dish that’s spicy, tangy, and refreshing all at once.
