Bombay Potato Recipes

BOMBAY POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the ginger and garlic, chop the tomatoes, then place in a blender and blitz until smooth. Chop the potatoes into 5cm chunks.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden, gently squishing them with a potato masher to increase the surface area and give you more crispy bits.
• Trim and roughly chop the spring onions, and deseed and finely slice the chilli (how much you use depends on how hot you like it!). Pick the coriander leaves and reserve, then finely chop the stalks.
• Add the cumin and mustard seeds to the pan and cook for 1 minute, until the cumin starts to darken. Add the spring onion, chilli and coriander stalks and cook for 2 minutes, then add the blitzed ginger mixture, the rest of the spices and a pinch of seasoning. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Serve the crispy Bombay potatoes with dollops of yoghurt, and the coriander leaves scattered over.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the potatoes in a large pot along with 1 teaspoon of the salt, turmeric, and enough water to cover by one inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the potatoes from the water and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the oil, mustard seed, curry powder, garam masala, and remaining salt to the bowl and toss with potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and roast in the pre-heated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes once half-way through. Remove from oven once the potatoes are fork-tender. Serve hot.
• Optionally garnish with parsley leaves

• Place cubed potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once water is boiling, cook until potatoes are just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and heat until they start to pop. Add turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until spices are fragrant, up to 1 minute, watching carefully so spices do not burn. Add onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add drained potatoes to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir to thoroughly coat the potatoes with the spice mixture. Taste and season with more salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
