Dum Aloo

Baby Potatoes are my latest go to ingredient for some time now. Few weeks ago, I posted recipe for Chatpate Aloo which was quite a huge hit on Pinterest and it was successful in drawing quite a number of visitors.

So now it’s time for that obvious preparation that follows immediately, every time I end up buying these Potatoes-Dum Aloo. Often, we end up getting few requests from our viewers and readers about a restaurant style Preparation that they would like to see on this blog. So we thought of making a restaurant type Dum Aloo-a rich and creamy gravy that would leave you craving for more and who says that a restaurant type dishes are hard to replicate in your kitchen.

You would love to eat this preparation with Jeera Rice. Try out this rich gravy and don’t forget to share your feedback with us.
