Gather @egg{2}, @red onion{1}, @ground cumin{1%tsp} and @fresh cilantro{0.5%bunch}.

Simmer the chickpeas and @potato{2} together in a splash of water with a pinch of @salt{} for 8–10 minutes so they soften further and take on flavor. ~{9%minutes}

Mix the @tamarind paste{2%tbsp} with warm water, a pinch of sugar and salt into a thin, sharply tangy water.

Toss the warm @chickpea{2%can}-potato mixture with the tamarind water, onion, @tomato{1}, @green chili{2}, toasted cumin and @chili powder{0.5%tsp}.

Rest 5 minutes so everything drinks up the tamarind before serving. ~{5%minutes}

Spoon into bowls, top with the halved eggs, finish with cilantro and a squeeze of @lemon{1}, and serve right away.
