How to Make Bombay Potatoes
Step #1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Bombay Potatoes are sometimes called Bombay Aloo, Aloo Bombay, or Alu Bombay, as “aloo” means potato and “alu” means edible root in Hindi. While these Bombay Potatoes are usually served as a side dish, they can also be a main course. Serve these potatoes with one of my curry or korma recipes for a delicious Indian meal: Indian Chicken Korma, Vegan Palak Paneer, Creamy Indian Vegetable Korma, or Creamy Cashew Indian Chicken Curry. Step #2: Next, peel the potatoes and cut them up into bite-sized pieces. Step #3: Place the potatoes in a large pot along with 1 teaspoon of 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 them to a large bowl.
