Clean Eating Bombay Potatoes Recipe

These clean eating Bombay potatoes area must for anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine!

It’s funny. I used to be a die-hard Mexican food fan (I still am!). But the longer I stick to a plant-based eating plan, the more I appreciate and enjoy Indian flavors. I’ve loved Indian food for a long time now. But I’ve never had a true appreciation for all the different types of foods that come from different regions of India.

WHAT ARE BOMBAY POTATOES?

Bombay potato, (sometimes called Bombay aloo or aloo (alu) Bombay), is an Indian dry dish prepared using potatoes that are cubed, boiled and then fried, and is flavored with various spices such as cumin, curry, garlic, garam masala, turmeric, mustard seeds, chili powder salt and pepper. Onion, tomatoes and tomato sauce are sometimes used as ingredients. Bombay potato can also be served as a side dish, rather than as a main course. (source)

This wonderful dish came about after I tried a packaged version from the health food store. The stuff from the store definitely fell short, but I recognized just how good it could be if it was homemade. So I gave it a shot.

Now, traditionally, most Bombay potato recipes are cooked dry (sautéed). I made mine a little different just to help cut back on the fat content a bit. So while traditionally, you would cook the potatoes first and then fry them, with this recipe, you’ll be boiling them for the most part. (Although you do sauté them in the beginning with the onions for flavor).

RECIPE TIPS:

  • Make sure you follow the directions on when to cover these potatoes for cooking. Because they are not pre-cooked, they will need to be covered during cooking to cook completely.
  • Serve this over cooked brown rice for a complete protein (beans and rice).
  • For a lighter meal, serve without grains and pair with a salad instead.

Years ago, I had a bad fall and injured my tailbone. It was one of the WORST pains I’d ever experienced. All the nerves surrounding my spine and lower back felt like they were on FIRE…Yoouuch!!! I was traveling for work at the time, and had to be pumped full of morphine just to get on the plane back home. I was bedridden for 3 weeks and miserable. I desperately tried every natural remedy I knew about to bring down the inflammation… and some things worked better than others. One of the most effective herbal supplements I took was a daily turmeric supplement . Thankfully, after several more weeks of turmeric supplements, acupuncture, and taking it easy, my tailbone had a full recovery. This was the first time I experienced for myself how powerful turmeric is.

To show you how remarkable this spice...
