Bombay Potatoes

[Yorkiegirl]

got some cooked spuds to use up tonight. As we're having curry I thought I'd make bombay potatoes.
Anyone got a good recipe that's easy?

anyone?

I would:

chop and fry a medium sized onion in olive oil

finely chop a clove of garlic

Add: a tablespoon of medium curry powder
a large pinch of turmeric, a few cumin seeds if you have them (not essential)

Add: some spinach if you have it, or cooked cauliflower, or quartered tomatoes (these are optional)

Add a knob of butter and cook the mixture, keeping it moving with a wooden spoon/spatula, until the powdered ingreients are well blended and the butter melted

Add the potatoes and some fresh coriander.(if you haven't got fresh coriander, use dried, but add it with the onions/garlic/curry powder etc)Mix and cook until potatoes are coated and piping hot

If it seems too dry, add a little water or some more butter/live oil if you're not bothered about fat

Serve

I'm sure there are hundreds of ways, but this is my personal recipe and I think it tastes gorgeous.

(sorry, obviously add the garlic with the onion and fry them together)

Now what on earth is wrong with good old fashioned English spuds??????? I don't know! All this foreign food, I mean, no offence to foreigners but their food does taste funny!!!!!They'd be far too spicy for me anyway!!!!!!!

Hello Rhuby

thanks greensleeves

yumsy
your !!!!!! are effin annoying

soooo yumsy how'd you make london potatoes then?? I need an exotic recipe enlighten me please.....

What a common word "effin" is!!!!!! I take it that 'Cod' is from the lower, commoner classes, her obviously dislike for Capital letters and to put in correct punctuation when shortening a word, speaks of her rather common upbringing!!!!!!! I think she needs a good hug!!!!!!! Don't you dear???

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yumsy and you said you were new.

i have never been on a thread wiht you,
i am obv chav central. like you

Darling, why go exotic when you have all that is best right here in Britain!!!!!!! Honestly I do think the only reason people cook exotic foods is not because they like the strange and often bizarre concoctions, but it is to please their "differently raced" neighbours!!!!!! I mean, it simply would not do to be called "racially challenged" now would it???????
I would go for mash with a spot of champagne!!!!!! But then, I am mad!!!!! Totally mad!!!!!!!

Darling Cod, you were gracious enough to visit my first ever thread on this lovely site!!!!! I noticed your grammatically challenged behaviour then but I am far too polite to point it out normally!!!!!!!!!!

Do you feel better for your hug my dear????
Mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know we'll be the best of friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

totally effin annoying

Oh dear, we seem to be getting our M&S knickers in rather a twist don't we??????????? Still, I just know we'll have great fun on this thread together!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They told me you were mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who'd have thought Bombay Potatoes were such a hotbed of controversy?

I had bombay potatoes in Tonbridge Wells in 1976 and I have never had them as nice again since..a very expensive Indian in an olde worlde place

Cod, do you know this woman? She´s annoying me. Don´t know why I feel driven to defend you but FYI, Yumsymumsy , the norms of grammar are suspended to a degree in this kind of forum. Common to other civilised places however, tolerance of "others" is expected. You have a lot to learn if this is indeed your first thread!

Oh darling!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a glass of champers and a hug dear, you sound like you need both!!!!!!!!!!!!

And me and Cod are the best of friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I´m pleased you and Cod are friends, but I´ve never been so irritated by someone online! I´ve no idea where you´re coming from.

This is the disadvantage of online communication I`m afraid, so I will try to give you the benefit of the doubt...

don't mind me ladies
chill out P45, yumsymumsy is not what you are thinking!

Blimey! What is going on????

Hi Yorkiegirl; I´ll clear off then! : )

I'm everyone's friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's not what I meant P45, its just that yumsymumsy is havin a larf!
