Kashmiri cuisine is one of the most celebrated cuisine of India. Today's recipe of "Dum Aloo" is one of the many rich dishes of Kashmiri cuisine.
Among the many versions of Aloo Dum, today’s recipe is my favorite. A typical Kashmiri pandit food, cute baby potatoes are fried and slowly simmered in a yogurt based gravy. Makes for a great dish for rotis or flavored rice.
Ingredients:
1. Boil the potatoes in water and cook until tender( should not be overcooked). When cool peel the skin and prick with a fork and set aside.
2.In a pan heat a tablespoon oil and shallow fry the potatoes until lightly browned.
3. Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a pan add the bay leaves and then the ground masala and the turmeric, chilli, corainder powder and asafoetida.
Sauté well until raw smell goes. Be very careful not to burn the masaka. Then add half a cup of water to reach the consistency shown.
4. When it boils, simmer for about 5 minutes until it oil separates.
5.Add the roasted potatoes and simmer again for 5 minutes. Crush the kasuri methi and finally add to the gravy along with nutmeg powder.
Serve with Rotis or any of your favorite flavored rice.
TIPS: I have used baby potatoes in this recipe but you can also use the regular potatoes cut into 4.
Kashmiri chilli powder is used but regular chilli powder can be used. Reduce quantity to 2 teaspoon in that case.
Kashmiri pandit recipe does not involve onions & garlic, saute 1/2 cup chopped onions and grind some garlic along with ginger if preferred.

ReplyDeleteApt amount of gravy citing how well the potatoes might be coated.
ReplyDeleteThese look so authentic. I have seen so many versions of kashmiri dam aloo, but your recipe looks the best!
ReplyDeleteWhen do we add the turmeric, red chillies, coriander, asafetida, salt and nutmeg? The recipe ny mentions ground masala which I'm guessing is the yogurt mixture?
ReplyDeleteTried this recipe today. It tasted really good but I was concerned with the color. The one I made turned out much more yellow compared to the picture on the top.Mine was more like step3 even after I finished cooking it and I cooked it enough..more than instructed. I'm not sure how you got the red color unless tomatoes were added since the only other red color could have come from the chillies.that said, it still tasted good and was easy.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnu,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I missed it. I have corrected it now. You will have to add it along with the ground masala.
Thanks for the mention.
Anu,
ReplyDeleteThank you again. The color comes from the kashmiri chilli powder that I used, I am not sue if you used it. Let me know.
Thanks for answering. I had Kashmiri dried chillies which I ground and used along with chilli powder.
ReplyDeleteAnu,
ReplyDeleteI used the store bought powder which could have some food coloring and that could also be the reason for the color.
