    Not the best as it does not include ginger and has a reduced amount if spices. It's good for its simplicity. I find adding 1/4 cup water at the end helps it.

    Delicious. I've used this recipe several times. I have however changed it slightly for my tastes. I add green beans to the boiling potatoes when they are almost boiled. I also add half a teaspoon of nigella (onion) seeds to the spice mix instead of mustard seeds since I love their flavour.

    Loved it, quick easy, added tomatoes, would do it without if I had a sauce to go with it ie. curry, Next time no fennel only because my better half didn't like the taste of it but otherwise delish.

    made these, was ok, nothing special, i was bit hesitant to use salad pots, normally use roasting ones, did not like the salad pots, tasted funny, i did add tomatoes, but didnt think you need to as i served with tikka masala, wont use the recipe again as in past have made better.

    I have never made bombay potatoes before, used this recipe today, I added some tomatoes as suggested and a level table spoon of mango chutney, fabulous will certainly make it again.
