Lamb Bombay Aloo

Lamb Bombay Aloo

Turn a traditional Indian potato side dish into a stunning main with British lamb. Flavoured with fragrant curry powder and sizzled away with garlic, onions, nigella seeds and sweet tomatoes. It wouldn't be Bombay Aloo without fluffy golden potatoes. A scattering of coriander and flaked almonds for freshness and crunch.

Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Leaving the skin on, cut the potatoes into 1-2cm cubes. Place on a lined baking tray lined, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and toss with a quarter of the curry powder and a good pinch of sea salt. Roast for 20-25 mins until golden, turning halfway through.
  2. Heat a large dry frying pan on medium heat, add the flaked almonds and toast for 2 mins until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside. Using the same pan, place on medium-high heat and add 1 tsp oil. Add the lamb and cook for 3-4 mins, until golden brown.
  3. Finely slice the onion and crush or finely chop the garlic. Add both to the lamb and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened.
  4. Quarter the tomatoes and add them to the lamb along with the nigella seeds and remaining curry powder. Cook for 1 min, then add 200ml water (100ml for 1 person). Simmer for a final 6-8 mins, until the sauce has thickened. Add the spinach in the final minute of cooking to wilt. Season with sea salt to taste.
  5. Roughly chop the coriander. Stir half of it through the lamb along with the roasted potatoes. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with the almonds and remaining coriander.
