If you’re thinking curry for dinner, Bombay potatoes should be right in tow. Chock full of exotic Indian flavors and fiery spices, they are a perfect pairing for bold curries and other hearty Indian dishes. The heat comes from many sources here: cayenne pepper, chili powder, and garam masala all add to the overall warmth. Turmeric and black mustard seeds top off the unique and exotic flavor.

Bombay potatoes

Best of all, Bombay potatoes are easy to dress up in the kitchen. For instance, add sautéed onions and tomatoes for an added “from the garden” oomph. Or mix them in with scrambled eggs for an Indian-inspired hearty breakfast. They can also be paired with a simply spiced plain Greek yogurt. Try it with salt, pepper, cumin, or coriander to start. Those leftovers can truly make your next day breakfast something surprisingly special.
