Fluffy pillowy Bombay Potatoes parboiled and sauteed with bitter mustard seeds, lemony coriander seeds and musky turmeric.
Cushion your mouth. And, gulp.
This dish will obliterate any belief that vegan food can’t be hearty.
Make this:
- When you’ve got the lads over for poker night and a quick hearty dish that’ll have you back on the cards in no time
- When you’ve a curry night and a side dish that’s both delish and nourishing is much needed
- When you’re short on time and a dish that will satisfy the kiddies but not too spicy is just what they desire
Bombay Potatoes was inspired by my parent’s cooking, returning from school famished and a wholesome dish that would quench our hungry appetites.
