Tips
Make extra: Chtitha Batata (Algerian Potato Stew) reheats well, so cook a double batch and the planner can use the leftovers for lunch the next day. Control the heat: remove the chilli seeds for mild, keep them for medium, add a pinch of chilli flakes at the end for hot. Get ahead: most of the prep can be done the night before, and the dish is often better reheated the next day.
