Bombay Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Place cubed potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once water is boiling, cook until potatoes are just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and heat until they start to pop. Add turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until spices are fragrant, up to 1 minute, watching carefully so spices do not burn. Add onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add drained potatoes to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook and stir to thoroughly coat the potatoes with the spice mixture. Taste and season with more salt, if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the ginger, garlic and four tomatoes into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Cook for 8-10 mins, or until just tender. Drain and leave to steam dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and a large pinch of salt and fry for 15 mins, or until the onions are golden and sticky. Add the chillies, mustard seeds, ground coriander, turmeric, cumin and garam masala to the pan and fry for another 2 mins. Tip in the tomato mixture and bring to a gentle simmer, then carefully stir in the potatoes and remaining tomatoes. Season to taste. Gently simmer the Bombay potatoes for a few mins until everything is warmed through, then serve topped with the coriander.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, cooking until softened (10-15 minutes) Drain.
• In a wok or skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Stir in mustard seeds and bay leaf. When seeds start jumping add ginger and onion. Reduce heat to medium low and add next 5 ingredients (turmeric - salt) and the potatoes. Cook stirring occasionally.
• Stir in tomatoes and a little water if needed and cook a few minutes more or until potatoes are tender.
• Top with cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 9-inch x 16-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the cilantro, mint, lemon juice, chiles, cumin, salt, and oil into a blender, and pulse until you have a smooth chutney that is thick and spreadable. Taste: it should be hot, herby, salty, and sour all at once. If it isn't, adjust as you see fit.
• Sprinkle a little flour over your work surface and lay out the pastry. Spread the surface of the pastry with the cilantro chutney, leaving a 1-inch strip free along the top edge (the side farthest from you). Add the cheddar in a similarly even layer and scatter the onion over the top, then brush the exposed strip with beaten egg.
• Roll the pastry in a tight spiral away from you until you have a big jelly roll. Cut the roll into 1½-inch-wide pieces and lay each piece on the baking sheet with a 2-inch gap between them. Brush each cut side with egg, then place in the hot oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and caramelized. Allow to cool slightly before separating and eating.

Steps:

• Place the ingredients for the spice mix in a little bowl and set aside.
• Cook the potatoes in boiling water, to which has been added a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. When tender, drain the potatoes and mash coarsely. Set aside.
• In a heavy based skillet, heat the oil and saute the curry leaves and dried red chillies until the chillies have darkened in color.
• Add the onions, chopped green chillies, cilantro leaves, remaining 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, the asafoetida and the spice mix, and cook until the onions are soft and translucent.
• Fold in the potatoes and a little water to just moisten.
• Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices, and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, but taking care not to mash the potatoes further.
• Add some lemon juice to taste and serve immediately.
