Cooked baby potatoes stir-fried in a wok with few but flavorsome ingredients making it the most easiest and versatile Indian curry.
Bombay Potato is a very easy recipe and can be prepared in less than an hour. Normal size potatoes can also be used instead of baby potatoes by chopping them into small bite-size.
You can serve this dish as a side dish, a snack, party appetizer, or even as a curry with phulka or roti. Leftover Bombay Potatoes can be used as a stuffing for Rolls and Sandwiches along with some chutney and salad.
Potatoes are one of the most versatile ingredients found in our kitchens. They are real lifesavers. Whether you boil, fry, steam, or stir fry, the results are always satisfactory. Potatoes pair up very well with almost all the vegetables or any kind of meat. And it is fairly good even on its own. I hardly know anyone who does not like a potato.
Potato is the world’s fourth-largest food crop after maize, wheat, and rice. Apart from being high in carbohydrates, it is also a rich source of vitamin B6 and vitamin C.
Bombay Potato ~ Dry Potato Curry ~ Aloo Masala
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes or medium size potatoes cut into 4
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger & garlic paste combined
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon amchur powder dry mango
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon chat masala powder
- ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and steam or boil with the skin for 15 to 20 minutes. Prick and check if the potatoes are cooked through. Once the baby potatoes are cooked, prick each one of them with a fork all over to make it easy for the potatoes to absorb the spices.
- Heat cooking oil at medium to low heat in a kadhai (wok) and add mustard seeds. Once the seeds start to crackle, add cumin seeds and cook till color changes slightly.
- Add chopped onion and saute until light brown, followed by ginger & garlic paste. Fry on low heat for 1 minute or till the raw smell disappears.
- Now add red chili powder, turmeric powder, amchur powder, salt, and yogurt (you can add a few tablespoons of water if needed). Stir well and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Once the masala looks cooked and oil starts to separate, add the pricked baby potatoes and toss well so that it is coated well with all the spices. Place the lid and cook on low flame for 2 minutes. Taste and check the seasoning and adjust accordingly.
- Finally, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and sprinkle some chat masala powder.
- Serve hot as an appetizer, side dish, starter, or with roti.
