Bombay potatoes
Curried potato dish
Bombay potatoes is an Indian dish of cubed potatoes fried with onions, tomatoes, and spices—typically turmeric, cumin, and mustard seeds.
The dish appears on British curry house menus and has become a standard side in Anglo-Indian cuisine: I'll have the lamb vindaloo with Bombay potatoes.
The name references Mumbai's former colonial name.
