My helper was also off from work today so it was such a pleasure being on my own…..until I had to wash the dishes of course. If it’s one thing I hate it’s dishwashing. Thank goodness I have a dishwasher but with all the cooking I do even that’s not enough. I did cook a few things and baked today, was so therapeutic, especially since I had no one bugging me. I had no intention of cooking potatoes as I made some Saag Paneer, will definitely post a recipe soon. I was just looking for something else to accompany the dish and I thought what better than potatoes. These Bombay Potatoes are absolutely delicious and I could eat it everyday. Apparently it is one of India’s most popular dishes. We don’t usually add stock of any sort to our curries but this is one time I did. I added some veggie stock to my Bombay Potatoes. I am not going to lie, I think this dish will still taste great without it. So if you don’t have some stock at hand feel free to use plain water. With the right balance of spices any Indian dish will still taste great without the added extras. If you are one those that’s really not into cooking in a microwave please feel free to boil your potatoes on the stovetop. For me the microwave is a quick and convenient way when I have loads to do. Today was one of those days when I wanted to cram a million things into one morning so my microwave was a handy appliance. I cut up my potatoes and placed it in a microwaveable bowl, I added a quarter cup of water, covered and cooked them on high for 5 minutes. My potatoes were perfect and moist. These Bombay Potatoes can be cooked in a jiffy without too much fuss, another reason to love it.
