    It is a pretty common recipe in Indian cuisine and more commonly called as Bombay Potatoes Recipe. Although they are not a standalone entree, Masala Potatoes pair very well with a milder companion dish.

    The directions to prepare start with cooking the Bombay potatoes. You could use baby potatoes or dice bigger potatoes too. But the key is to not cook them completely when you start. Instead, you cook them halfway and fully cook them when you have the spices sizzling.

    This will ensure that the aroma of ground spices are infused with the potatoes as they cook. The spices form a thin crust on the potatoes like a thin wafer.

    I like to use baby potatoes because they involve less cutting and hence less prep time. Follow the directions and you will have Masala Potatoes ready in less than 40 minutes that is bursting with flavor.

    Here are few recipes that go well with Bombay potatoes recipe

    Note: If you are using fresh tomatoes instead of paste, use 2 tomatoes and blend them without water. Cook the blended tomato paste until thickens.
