Punjabi Dum aloo- Baby potatoes cooked in a rich creamy tomato sauce, seasoned mildly with Indian spices. 

Punjabi  Dum Aloo-Potato – the king of vegetables, is loved by everyone, everywhere – whether it’s the famous french fries, chips, grill or bakes. There are so many recipes to cook potatoes. Among potato based Indian curries – Dum aloo is my most favourite one.
There are so many versions of this recipe, and the most popular version is the Kashmiri Dum Aloo. However, today I am sharing a different version of Dum Aloo – spiced with Chana Masala (chholey masala) and Black Salt/Rock Salt. Though these both spices are not used in Punjabi dum aloo but this enhances the taste so do try this once and you will surely like the taste.
