I wanted to try Dum Aloo recipe for so long,but never happened. Each time when I buy small potato,I end up in making other small potato recipes like
small potato curry or
small potato biryani. Even Priti always
complains I never try any recipes reminded that I wanted to try
this recipe of hers. So,yesterday I tried her recipe for dinner as side dish for
roti. My hubby just loved it a lot,he is not a big fan of paneer,so it was quite a welcome change for him from the usual paneer side dishes I make.
Ingredients
| Small potatoes | 20 |
| Onion | 1 |
| Tomato | 1-2 |
| Curd | 1/2 cup |
| Red chilli powder | 2 tsp |
| Coriander powder | 1 tsp |
| Garam masala powder | 1 tsp |
| Turmeric powder | 1/8 tsp |
| Ginger garlic paste | 2 tsp |
| Coriander leaves,chopped | 3 tblsp |
| Lemon juice | from 1/2 of a lemon |
| Salt | as needed |
| Oil | 1 tblsp |
To roast & grind
| Onion | 1 |
| Black cardamom | 1 |
| Cloves | 2 |
| jeera | 1 tsp |
| fennel | 1 tsp |
| Cashews | 10 |
To temper
| Oil | 1 tblsp |
| Cinnamon | 1 piece |
| Bay leaf | 1 |
| Red chillies | 2 |
Method:
- Pressure cook potatoes for 2 whistles and peel the skin,prick it here and there with fork.Heat a pan with oil and roast the potatoes until golden.Make sure you keep it turning in between to ensure even browning.
- In the same pan,fry cardamom,cloves,fennel,jeera,cashews and onion. Grind it with little water to smooth paste.
- Heat oil and temper with the items under ‘To temper’ table. Add finely chopped onion and fry till transparent.Add ginger garlic paste and the ground paste and fry for 2 minutes in medium flame.
- Add chopped tomatoes,salt and fry till mushy. Add chilli powder,turmeric,coriander and garam masala powders.
- Fry in medium flame,till the oil separates from masala . Add curd little by little, frying for each time for 1/2 minute.
- Add the roasted potatoes and add water(1 & 3/4 cups),bring to boil.
- Simmer for 5 minutes and garnish with lemon juice and coriander leaves,after switching off the flame.
We had it with roti,but this goes well with any mild pulao.
Notes:
- You can deep fry the potatoes.
- As I don’t like curd much in gravies,I reduced to half as the original recipe and added lemon juice.
