How to make Dum Aloo?

I would say, do not compromise with the ingredients of Dum Aloo. Hence, make sure that you end up frying potatoes before you add curd and simmer them in the gravy. Also, the raw smell and taste of kasuri methi enhances the taste of this spicy, easy accompaniment like nothing else. So, do not forget to add it, okay?
