I am always on a look out for simple yet interesting dinner recipes. And, this Restaurant Style Dum Aloo is perfect to make on the days when I wish to serve a vegetarian meal. Most importantly, Dum Aloo is a mix well and cook fried potatoes based gravy. And, because it has tomato puree, flavours of cumin seeds and fennel seeds, trust me, this side tastes mouthwatering.
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?
