Have used a couple of recipies myself. All are pretty good my only suggestion is to cover parboiled potatoe cubes in chosen spices and roast instead of frying. Gives a more consistent reault

You should try this recipe, I'd recommend the whole recipe but the Bombay potatoes are delicious. I've made this for several people and they love it. The gravy is yum! Try it all!

It's a slight cheats way of doing things but in the Arab/Indian shops you can get yellow boxes of spices, kind of like dinner kits, one of them is for spicy Bombay potatoes. Essentially you boil potatoes, pour off the water, add the spice mix and half a tin of tomatoes, bobs your uncle, seriously tasty side dish!

This is where I learned to make them and have used this recipe ever since (with some personal tweaking).
