Using Spicentice Bombay potato seasoning mix
Traditionally, Indian cooking can involve buying a whole load of herbs and spices. They’re a great investment if you’re regularly whipping up all kinds of different things in the kitchen, but more often than not, we can end up with a cupboard full of stuff that we just never use.
This is just one of the reasonings why I love using Spicentice products when I’m making slimming friendly meals.
They sell a huge range of rubs and meal kits that cut down the ingredients and the time required to make your favourite dishes and try out new ones.
Spicentice Bombay potato seasoning mix is packed full of flavour and you definitely won’t be disappointed when you use it in this recipe.

How to serve your Bombay potatoes
The slimming friendly Bombay potatoes can be served alongside any kind of Indian meal, though they work particularly well with my slimming chicken Jalfrezi.
If you want to go the whole hog, knock up a tray of slimming onion bhajis too. They’re low in calories, and one of the simplest recipes that you’ll ever make.
Alternatively, you can use your Bombay potatoes to create a light vegetarian supper by serving it on top of a warmed naan bread with a dollop of natural yoghurt.
