About Bombay potato
Hari Ghotra’s Bombay aloo combines potato chunks with mustard seeds, curry leaves and onion. This attributed rendition keeps the potatoes in individual pieces, following the presentation she describes for her familiar dinner-table side dish.
Cumin and coriander seeds are pounded for the spice mixture, with turmeric, green chilli and optional red chilli powder. A small addition of water helps the potatoes soften under the lid.
Garam masala and chopped fresh coriander finish the dish. It is presented as a side for an Indian meal, preserving Hari’s whole-spice and curry-leaf version within the wider Bombay-potato tradition.
