Dum Aloo

Dum Aloo is a popular Indian dish made with baby potatoes cooked in a rich and flavorful tomato-based gravy.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Boil the baby potatoes until they are fork-tender. Peel the potatoes and prick them with a fork.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the potatoes until they turn golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute.
Add tomato puree and cook until the oil separates from the masala.
In a blender, grind soaked cashew nuts with yogurt to make a smooth paste. Add this paste to the pan and mix well.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add water and bring the gravy to a boil. Reduce the heat to low.
Add fried baby potatoes to the gravy and mix well. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Crush kasuri methi between your palms and sprinkle it over the dum aloo. Add garam masala and mix gently.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
