Recipe for Bombay Potatoes
There are a few variations for this recipe scrubbed new potatoes (with their skin on) is a great way to do this. larger older potatoes can be peeled, cubed, and boiled, is a very easy way. And lastly peeled, cubed, par- boiled then fried is a more traditional method. I have even used up leftover Sunday roast potatoes for this, it's really up to you.
Ingredients:
½ kg of new potatoes ( I usually use Cyprus potatoes) peeled and cubed
Cooking oil for deep-frying
1 large onion medium sliced
1 yellow bell pepper cut into chunks
2 large tomatoes sliced

½ teaspoon of ground Turmeric
½ teaspoon of chilli powder
½ teaspoon of cumin seeds
