PARMESAN AND GARLIC SMASHED POTATOES
NOW, This particular Bombay Potatoes, is a step up from my old Aloo Fry.
I created a dish one day, a couple years back, when I tried to ‘Jazz Up’ that simple aloo fry. And then, upon further research, I found that there is a dish called Bombay Potatoes, with similar spicing and methodology that I had used. Hey, we learn something new each day, reminds me of this Quote below by Mahatma Gandhi??
I am so glad that I had learnt to make this version of Potatoes, which has since become a firm favourite in my home. These are perfect as a side to any grills, or curries. I do not add any onion or tomato to this recipe, but if you prefer to have it with a little more gravy/sauce, then you can add those. It is a wonderful option for a vegetarian meal, all on its own, served with roti/chappati or puris. The simplest of meals, these bombay potatoes, can be ready in under 30 minutes
So, Why not give this version of bombay potato a try, the next time you need a dose of Potato Love… LET ME KNOW…ARE YOU A POTATO LOVER OR NOT!
HAPPY “BOMBAY POTATO” MAKING LOVELIES
