Dum Aaloo

Dum Aaloo is a Kashmiri cuisine.The dish is made by cooking potatoes in curd on a slow flame.
In my recipe.I have used cream instead of curd.

Ingredients;

Baby potatoes-6 to 8

Onion-1

Tomatoes-2 med,pureed

Ginger garlic paste-1tbsp

Chilli powder-2tsp

Turmeric-1tsp

Garam masala powder-1tbsp

Cumin powder-1tsp

Cream-3 to 4tbsp

salt as per taste

oil for deep frying

Cilantro for garnishing

I have used baby potatoes.If you are using large potatoes cut it into 4 .Boil the potatoes till 3/4th cooked.Now peel it and apply 1tsp chilli powder, turmeric and salt.

Deep fry the potatoes till cooked and golden brown in colour.remove it on a kitchen towel.When it cool down,prick it with a skewer so that when added into the gravy it can seep into the potatoes.

Now heat 2tbsp oil in a pan.Saute the onions.When onions are translucent,add in the gingergarlic paste.Roast it till the raw smell is gone.Now add the chilli powder,garam masala,cumin powder and salt.Pour in the tomato puree.Cook it till the oil separates.Now add 1/2 a cup of water(If you want to add curd you may do it now and adjust the amount of water accordingly).When the gravy boils add in the fried potatoes and cook for 4 to 5 mins.Switch off the flame,pour the cream and garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve with chappati or rice!!!!!!!
