Dum Aloo




Dum Aloo is one of my favourite recipies. Its quick and easy to make.Who doesn't like potatoes? That too when it is made with super gravy.Recipe as follows


Ingredients

6-8 Round small potatoes ( If you get a big potatoes, make it four)
2 small-medium onions
2 tomotoes
1sp ginger-garlic paste
1.5sp Red chilli powder
1spn Coriander powder
1spn Cumin Powder
1/4spn Turmeric powder
1 Bay leave
1/2spn Garam Masala
Salt & oil

1)Take all the potatoes and boil it separetly in kadai or in Microwave as instructed.
Keeping in cooker may overcook the potatoes and makes it mushy,which is not
neccessary for this dish.

2)Fry 1.5 onions, ginger-garlic in oil and grind them.
2.1) Grind tomatoes separetly.

3)Take a kadai,heat oil
fry the remaining 1/2 onions chopped finely,
add Turmeric powder,
add Grinder paste and fry for 5 minutes,
add Tomatoes,

4)Once the tomatoes are cooked finely, add the remaining spices(Coriander powder,
cumin powder, red chilli powder) and water.

5)Once you find the consistency thicker, prick the peeled-potatoes in fork and put
it in the kadai.
The reason for pricking is, the gravy will be absorbed in the potatoes and which
tastes more yummy.

6)Atlast, before serving, heat a small kadai with oil and put the garam masala. Just
our it on the top of the dish garnished with coriander leaves.

TA-DAAAA....Yummy Dum Aloo is ready!
