    Cuisine: Indian
    Servings: 6
    Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 40 minutes minutes

    Ingredients

    • 2 lb potatoes (waxy or semi-waxy)
    • 2 medium onion thinly sliced
    • 1 inch ginger finely chopped
    • 4 tablespoon oil
    • 1 sprig curry leaves
    • 2 tablespoon cilantro

    Spices:

    • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
    • 1 teaspoon turmeric divided

    Instructions

    Boiling the potatoes:

    • Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into cubes.
    • Place them in a large pot and add cold water to cover them by one inch. Add ½ teaspoon each of ground turmeric and salt.
    • Place the pot on high heat and bring it to a boil.
    • Simmer and boil for 7-8 minutes, until the potatoes are nearly done.
    • Strain the potatoes using a colander and set them aside.

    Frying the boiled potatoes:

    • Heat oil in a large frying pan and add mustard seeds.
    • Once they begin to crackle, add the curry leaves and ginger. Saute for one minute.
    • Add the onions next. Saute until the onions begin to brown, about 4-5 minutes.
    • Add salt and the remaining spices - ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala, chili powder, and ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric.
    • Add ¼ cup of water and mix well. Simmer and let the spices cook for about 2-3 minutes.
    • It is important not to add more water as we want the onion masala to be dry and not have a saucy consistency.
    • Add the boiled potatoes and mix gently. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes, to allow the potatoes to soak up the flavors.
    • Turn off the heat. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

    Notes

    Parboiling the potatoes with turmeric gives them a beautiful golden hue.
    Use waxy potatoes (and not floury) to make this dish. Floury potatoes are very starchy, which will fall apart and make the final dish mushy. A classic Bombay potatoes recipe uses Maris piper or King Edward potatoes. Semi-waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold potatoes also work very well.
    It is important not to add more water as we want the onion masala to be dry and not have a saucy consistency. Add just a splash of water to prevent the spices from burning.
    Baby potatoes can also be used to make these easy Bombay potatoes.
