Today I’m sharing a new belly-friendly recipe: my turmeric gluten-free Bombay potato which has a low FODMAP option and is also dairy-free. This low FODMAP Bombay potato is also gluten and dairy-free sweet potato Bombay potato dish that makes a great gluten-free alternative to Bombay potatoes and adds plenty of gut-friendly herbs and spices to plain old boring potatoes and sweet potatoes. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and can be adapted to a low residue diet too.
This spicy gluten-free sweet potato Bombay potato uses a handful of ingredients and makes a great low FODMAP dinner idea or side dish. The ginger and turmeric are both great gut-friendly spices and potatoes It uses potatoes and sweet potatoes as its base and tinned tomatoes and herbs to add flavor.
Is this gluten-free bombay potato low residue/low fibre friendly?

If on the low residue diet, the only ingredient you will need to change is the tinned tomatoes. A smooth pasata will mean the tomatoes are smoothly blended compared to tinned tomatoes. Many people on the low residue diet can tolerate sweet potatoes when cooked and peeled but if not, substitute the one sweet potato for a regular potato.
Is this gluten-free bombay potato suitable for those on the low fodmap diet?
Yes. This recipe can be made in two ways and has been tested for both. Those not on the low FODMAP diet can use a 400g tin of chopped tomatoes for the base.
Those on the low FODMAP diet can consume up to 92g /1/2 cup of tinned chopped tomatoes As this recipe serves 4, one tin is likely to be fine or you might choose to use a low FODMAP tomato-free sauce (such as this one) as your base instead. I have a code for this site for 5% off-BALANCEDBELLY5
An adaptation I’ve done is to use 1/2 tin of chopped tomatoes (200g instead of) and substitute the other half of the tin with 100g of low fodmap stock. I recommend buying this from FODMAP foods (use BALANCEDBELLY5 for 5% off!) and one tablespoon of gluten-free flour to thicken the mixture up.
This adaption is explained in the recipe. The recipe uses one sweet potato for four servings, two potatoes for 4 servings and the spices are all low FODMAP.
Help, it’s too spicy!

If it’s too spicy, add a dollop of coconut yoghurt or any plain yoghurt to make it milder.
Help, it’s not spicy enough!
Add an additional teaspoon of chilli powder to give this recipe a little more kick!
What can I serve it with?
Serve with my low FODMAP dairy free butter chicken; turmeric chicken and sweet potato curry or my gluten free chicken katsu curry.
