Dum Aloo Recipe (Restaurant style Dum aloo recipe]

One of the most sought potato curry dishes in Indian cuisine is the mouthwatering dum aloo.

When unexpected visitors arrive around lunchtime and you don’t have any green veggies on hand to prepare a curry, this dish comes in handy because it only needs two ingredients, potatoes and curd, both of which are frequently found in Indian kitchens.

I just became aware of the existence of other variations later in life, such as the Kashmiri Dum Aloo, which is quite distinct from the Punjabi variety.

Although jeera rice or pulao also go well with this creamy gravy, rotis or naan are the perfect accompaniment.

  • 5 tablespoons Cooking Oil
  • 12 small Potato, boiled in salted water
  • 3 large Onion, finely chopped

  12. Add fried potatoes and garam masala powder as it begins to boil.
  13. Cook the potatoes over medium heat until they have absorbed the gravy and the oil has begun to surface.
  14. Cut the heat off.
  15. Add fresh coriander leaves as a garnish after transferring Kashmiri dum aloo to a serving dish.

Tips and variations

  • Almonds can be used in place of cashews.
  • You can adjust the number of spice powders according to your preferences.
  • Once the dum aloo gravy is prepared, you can try the dhungar method if you’d want to give the food a smoky charcoal flavor.
  • Dum aloo is prepared using baby potatoes. You can substitute ordinary potatoes if baby potatoes are not available. Just boil the potatoes in water in a pan until they are nearly done.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this rich baby potato gravy with roti, paratha, and naan.

For lunch or dinner, serve it with jeera rice, pulao, biryani, or steamed rice.
