Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

500g potatoes - Aloo
2 tbs vegetable oil
½ large onion - diced
2.5cm cube of fresh ginger - shredded (or 1 tsp ginger powder)
1 tsp chilli powder (optional)
1 tsp (white) cumin seeds - jeera
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp mango powder (optional)
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp sesimi seeds
1 tsp turmeric

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes well and cut to bite size (no need to peel). Place potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water and boil until cooked but still firm.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a frypan. Fry the cumin and mustard seeds until they start to pop, put to one side.
  • Fry the ginger for about a minute, put to one side.
  • Fry the onion until opaque not quite soft, then add the turmeric, mango powder, chili powder and cook together for 2 minutes. Combine the cumin, mustard seeds, sesimi seeds and cooked ginger with the spiced onion adding a little of the potato's salt water if needed to form a runny paste and add the garam masala.
  • Add the potatoes to the fry pan mixture and stir gently until fully coated.
  • Serve Bombay potato - Bombay aloo hot or cold.
