This makes the perfect accompaniment to any curry vegetarian or meat based. They are very easy to make, and the fresh flavours are very different when you do cook it yourself. Give it a go.
Serves 6 to 8

This recipe is awesome i've made heaps. It is also nice with onions and mince. Also it does'nt take that long to cook which is great for when I come hope and need to whip up something easy and fresh. : )
do u need a drop of water in it.

I substitute 1 tsp garam masala with half tsp garam masala and half tsp chaat powder(avail at all indian grocers). Also at the end , I add a little sugar. Altogether adds a lovely blend of tastes.
terrific idea,tastes fantastic!
excellent with rice as a vegetarian meal
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
how much potato? and do you cook it first? some of these recipes on here are missing vital instructions!
Exactly! How much potato and do you cook it first and do you dice or chunk? What about onion?
The recipe says 6 potatoes. It also says peel them and parboil them whole and then chop into chunks.
it does say parboiled potatoes, that means part-cooked, firm but not cooked all the way through!
i saw the video: cut in 4 lengthwise and then in big cubes (each potato)
u cook th epotato first in skin leave to cool then peel and i thnk its up 2 u how much potatoe u add
Very good veggie recipe ...I like some yoghurt on the side.
It's one of my mum and dad's favourite dishes with a perfect corma or chicken curry made by me (i make the curry with a bit of help from dad)and they are even making it for friends

Hi Jamie, Can you let me know the history of bombay potato as I need it for a school project. Thanks, Alexandra and Kara
this is caitlin , caitlin , sarah and sarah from the same class as alexandra and Kara , we would just like to say thankyou and that we apprecciate your help finding the history of this bombay potato salad :-)
According to Pat Chapman in The New Curry Bible "The tomato and the potato were ignored by the Moghuls, Indian and British alike, until American missionaries brought them to India in the nineteenth century. Consequently, there are no traditional potato dishes. Fortunately, the potato is now fully accepted in India, but this explains why [Bombay Potato], which is now a curry-house classic, is yet another British restaurant invention."
A MUST to try .. absolutely yummy!!!
its really very good!
