Bombay potatoes are a classic Indian dish infused with the aromas of spices and the warmth of home cooking. Its history traces back to the streets of Mumbai, where street vendors skillfully transform ordinary potatoes into a delightful side dish. Large chunks of potato fried in a mix of cumin, coriander, and turmeric absorb the richness of the spices, creating a deeply rich flavor. Ginger and garlic add brightness to the dish, while the spiciness of chili peppers awakens the appetite. Fresh tomatoes are added at the end to soften the sharpness of the spices and bring a pleasant tanginess. Bombay potatoes pair perfectly with curry or serve as a standalone snack. Their characteristic golden crust and rich aroma make this dish indispensable on an Indian table, reminiscent of warm evenings spent over heartfelt meals.

Recipe by Igor Mardasov, chef of the Harvey & Monica restaurant. Potatoes in two forms at once - in the form of pancakes and thin crispy straws. Pancakes are prepared without flour, and due to the different caliber of grated potatoes, they look interesting and do not fall apart in the pan. As for the potato pie, we have an Asian variety of potato chips that can enliven the landscape of steaks and salads, and also be a decoration for stewed dishes.

Joel Robuchon means about the same to French cuisine today as Academician Likhachev did to the Soviet humanitarian intelligentsia. Robuchon has all the highest state awards and the title of chef of the century, a living classic. Mashed potatoes according to the recipe of Joel Robuchon, it must be said, are almost more famous than Robuchon himself, especially in Russia. The only thing that is not entirely clear to the Russian taste is nutmeg. The French always add it to potatoes, and for no apparent reason. Robuchon explains this by the history of disgust for potatoes, which the French could not digest for a long time.

Samosas are an ideal food format that allows you to experiment as much as you like. They first came up with the idea to make them somewhere in Central Asia, presumably in the 10th century. Even then, samosas were small fried or baked patties with a juicy filling, mostly vegetable. Now they are an important and tasty Indian snack that you can eat somewhere in a cafe, take with you on a walk, or cook at home. Homemade samosas are easy to make, fortunately we have a good and clear recipe.
