Crock-Pot Bombay Potatoes

Enjoy the flavors of India with this flavorful and slightly spicy recipe for Crock-Pot Bombay Potatoes as a side dish. They are SO GOOD! Use store bought Garam masala or make your own with our recipe for homemade Garam masala spice mix!

Crock-Pot Bombay Potatoes

Slow Cooker Bombay Potatoes

I am all about trying new dishes, especially dishes that can test my taste buds and get my kitchen smelling yummy.  And this Indian potato recipe does not disappoint!

One of my good friends called me up the other day and told me that I just had to try these Bombay Potatoes. She said her sister brought them to a family meal and they were very tasty and were made using the spice Garam masala.

Garam masala is a spice that is actually a combination of many spices and then those spices are toasted and ground up and used in many Indian, Pakistaini and other South Asian dishes.

Unfortunately I am only able to find Garam masala spice mixture in Ethnic food specialty stores (and those are pretty rare in my part of Illinois). But thanks to the World Wide Web you can easily purchase it online and have it delivered. Or you can make it yourself.


Homemade Garam masala Spice Mixture Recipe:

If you don’t have the patience to wait a few days for your spices to come in the mail then the next best option is to make Garam masala at home with this easy recipe.

You will need a spice mill or coffee grinder so that you can grind and mix the spices. This is the recipe that I have used in this recipe and it is super tasty!

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons tumeric
  • 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon cardamon
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 2 dried red chili peppers (seeds removed)

Directions: 

  • On the stove-top heat a medium sized skillet until hot.
  • Add all the ingredients for the spice mixture to the hot pan and toast until the spices become fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the toasted spices to a spice mill or coffee grinder and grind them until they are a fine powder.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. (spice mixture will be safe to eat after 6 months but will loose it’s potency).

Equipment Needed For This Slow Cooker Bombay Potatoes Recipe:

  • 6 Quart, 6.5 Quart Or 7 Quart Slow Cooker
  • Large Skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Dry Measuring Cups And Spoons

Bombay potatoes pair well with just about any Indian dish such as curries (vegetarian or meaty) and breads. You can also serve these flavorful potatoes with roasted chicken, pork or beef.

Bombay potatoes is best made with a waxy type of potato such as a Yukon Gold, New Potato, Red Bliss, and fingerling potatoes. Waxy potatoes are relatively low in starch and higher moisture content which means they will hold their shape as they cook.

    The cream curdled on me also. So disappointing and waste of money and time. Not to mention dinner was ruined.
