ALOO DUM/DUM ALOO

Aloo-dum-recipe
   
       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

Aloo-dum

Method:

  1. 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.
  2. d1-horz
  3. In the same pan,fry cardamom,cloves,fennel,jeera,cashews and onion. Grind it with little water to smooth paste.
  4. d3-horz
  5. 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.
  6. d5-horz
  7. Add chopped tomatoes,salt and fry till mushy. Add chilli powder,turmeric,coriander and garam masala powders.
  8. d7-horz
  9. Fry  in medium flame,till the oil separates from masala . Add curd little by little, frying for each time for 1/2 minute.
  10. d9-horz
  11. Add the roasted potatoes and add water(1 & 3/4 cups),bring to boil.
  12. d11-horz
  13. Simmer for 5 minutes and garnish with lemon juice and coriander leaves,after switching off the flame.
  14. d13-horz
We had it with roti,but this goes well with any mild pulao.

Dum-aloo

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.
