Bombay Potatoes

This is quick and easy. Gather the ingedients, throw them together, give them some time to get along and serve. It pretty much takes care of itself.

The Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 pinch ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 Red chilli roughly chopped
• 1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger , peeled and grated (or very lazy ginger )
• ½ cup butter
• 1lb new potatoes
• 4 tomatoes flesh diced

The Recipe

1. Parboil the potatoes until they are about half done.
2. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the spices for a few minutes.
3. Add the butter, then the potatoes making sure they are completely coated in the spicy mixture.
4. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes.
5. Optionally add a teaspoon of flour to thicken the sauce.

Thoughts and observations

It was good. It was simple to make and not a lot to go wrong. I’d do it again.

Miranda thought it tastes to much of mustard so perhaps only putting in half a teaspoon of mustard seeds would be better. Other than that we all enjoyed it.
