Jun 20 Easy Bombay Potatoes Tweet Yum Easy Bombay Potatoes – the best ever Indian Spiced Roasties. The perfect partner for any curry recipe or to spice up your Sunday Roast! I thought it was about time to share my recipe for Easy Bombay Potatoes with you. I’ve been making Bombay Potatoes this way for years and although I’ve posted photos on social media I’ve never got around to sharing the recipe… so here goes. Whenever possible I use Maris Piper potatoes but any floury potato variety works really well. Leftover boiled or roasted potatoes can be used, just see my note at the bottom of the recipe. If main crop potatoes are out of season, the recipe still works with new potatoes. The potatoes are par boiled with turmeric to give that gorgeous golden colour. And then tossed in a mixture of curry paste, onions, oil and black mustard seeds. After that it’s simply a case of popping them in the oven for about thirty minutes to give crispy spicy potatoes you won’t be able to resist. No curry night at the Kitchen Shed would be complete without Easy Bombay Potatoes and I regularly serve them at our BBQs alongside my Tandoori Chicken kebabs (recipe coming soon). We’ve also been known to have these “spicy spuds” with a Sunday Roast. I hope you enjoy Easy Bombay Potatoes as much as we do. Here’s the recipe in quick printable format so you can have it to hand while you try it out. 4.9 from 11 reviews Easy Bombay Potatoes Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 30 mins Total time 40 mins Easy Bombay Potatoes - the best ever Indian Spiced Roasties.

What can I say except Wow ! Did a curry night in new years Eve 3 currys, dhal , pilau and coconut rice but these stole the show ! Everyone blown away and demanding recipe so easy but so very very tasty , thank you so much for this 👌 Reply
I’m so pleased to hear my recipe went down well at your curry night, sounds like a very tasty menu. It’s a pleasure to share the recipe. Reply
As my scale does not have “medium” on it. What is the total weight of the potatoes used in this recipe? Reply
Hi Erich, thanks for stopping by. I’ve just weighed 8 medium sized ish potatoes and they weigh 1.5 kg, hope this helps 🙂 Reply
just made your bombay potato dish for tonights curry look and taste great,better than chips. thanx Reply
These look really nice I will be making them but can you use curry powder instead of paste will this work x Reply
Thanks Tina, curry powder would work well, you may need an extra tablespoon of oil as there is oil in the paste. Do let me know how you get on. Reply
These were absolutely lovely – one observation is that they needed a good dash of seasoning during the baking time as the salt in the boiling water wasn’t enough for me. I also baked them for a bit longer to make them super-crunchy! Reply
Thanks Jane, I’m so pleased you enjoyed them. Thanks for the feedback it’s really useful, I tend to go easy on the salt for health reasons but I think I’ll amend the recipe amount to half to one teaspoon so people can choose how much to use. Reply
Absolutely love Bombay Pitatoes but never tried to make any before. Will have to give them a go Reply
Thanks Candace, Bombay Potatoes are a favourite here too and they’re so easy to make. Let me know if you do get time to make some. Reply
Gosh these sound like my idea of heaven! I adore black mustard seeds and always have them in my pantry. Thank you for sharing with the No Waste Food Challenge! 🙂 Reply
OMG these look so good! I’ve never thought of making bombay potatoes and love the idea of popping them in the oven to crisp up! Thanks for linking up 🙂 Reply
Thanks Lisa, if you like Bombay potatoes it’s definitely worth making them at home and so much healthier too 🙂 Reply
Oh wow these sound delicious. I am a huge potato fan! And we have just been discussing what we are cooking for Monkeys BBQ Birthday get together – I am putting these on the list. Thank you so much for joining us at #BloggerClubUK hope to see you again this week xx Reply
Thanks Clare, hope your birthday BBQ for Monkey goes well and you all enjoy the Bombay Potatoes as much as we do here at the Kitchen Shed. xx Reply
What a yummy sounding potato loaded with flavor. Thanks for sharing with us at Fiesta Friday. Happy FF! Reply
I have more trouble finding a great side dish than anything else. These potatoes look delicious and I just love how you crisped them up for perfect texture too! Reply
Hi! I saw these @ Fiesta Friday and wanted to transport them directly to me! Look so tasty! Looks like I’m going shopping! Michelle Reply
What a fab recipe! I have tried other recipes for Bombay Spuds in the past that suggested frying the potatoes, but they never end up crispy! This recipe was easy to follow, easy to do (very little watching of spuds needed, unlike frying!), and most importantly very very yummi!!) thanks for sharing! Reply
Thanks Sarah, so pleased you enjoyed my Bombay Potatoes. Frying is the traditional way to make Bombay Potatoes and some recipes have tomatoes in too, I wouldn’t be able to say my version is authentic but they are spicy and delicious. Reply
I love Bombay potatoes and homemade ones are definitely healthier! They look delicious! Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare x Reply
Yummy, these look great! I defnitley need easy recipes, I will be trying these out! #BloggerClubUK Reply
I LOVE potatoes, and these look fantastic! My dad used to make a dish similar to these, but I had forgotten all about it. I’ll have to try these sometime! Reply
Thanks Charlotte, I used Sainsbury’s Madras Curry paste which is quite hot but you could use a milder paste. Reply
I love potatoes made like this Sarah, but I’ve never tried re-creating them at home. Great idea to use turmeric to bring that lovely colour to the potatoes. Angela x Reply
Thanks Angela. Par boiling the potatoes with the turmeric brings the colour and flavour out much better than adding the turmeric afterwards. x Reply
They look really good! I love any kind of potato though so to me, these just look so yummy! Popping over from #bloggerclubuk Reply
Wow – these look and sound amazing! Most definitely pinned on my Must Make board! Which curry paste do you use for this recipe? Eb x Reply
Thanks Eb, I used Sainsbury’s Madras Curry paste which has a lovely heat to it. Hope you do get to try my Bombay Potatoes they go really well with your Easy Butter Chicken. x Reply
Oh wow, these Bombay Potatoes look so delicious Sarah! Thanks for a fabulous entry to #CreditCrunchMunch! Reply
