Dum Aloo Masala Recipe

by 17 Comments

Dum aloo- Baby potatoes cooked in a rich creamy tomato sauce, seasoned mildly with Indian spices. 
 
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. Hope you all will like this too :).

    5. Keep stirring so that the masala does not curdle.
    6. Now add paste A and fried potatoes, and cook for 1 minute.
    7. Add 1.5 cups of water, salt, black salt and cover and cook for 2 minutes so potatoes get cooked properly.keep stirring in between. (If you want a thin gravy then add little more water)
    8. Add chopped fresh coriander and mix in.
    9. Garnish with 1 ts of fresh cream and serve hot.
Note-
If you are not using kashmiri chili powder then reduce the quantity of chilies to half.
