"Want a shortcut with more flavors? Try our CURRY POWER seasoning to substitute ground coriander, garam masala, and turmeric! Bombay Aloo (or aloo ki sabzi), is a simple but flavorful Indian side dish. In this recipe, we fry the potatoes first to add a bit of crunch, but you can also just add cooked potatoes to the sauce. It may not look like a budget recipe at the first sight, but it’s a great way to use your forgotten spice and make potatoes taste amazing. You can serve it as a side dish to any curry or even enjoy it as a quick lunch. If you don’t have black mustard seeds, you can use whole cumin seeds or fennel seeds. If you can’t find good quality tomatoes, use canned tomatoes for enhanced flavor."
