Dum Aloo is one of the rich dish . Potatoes are cooked in gravy with dum means covered with layer of dough. The heat does stay inside the pan since the dough is covered between the pan and the covered plate. But I have prepared it with an easy step by cooking aloo in a pressure cooker.
I have used baby potatoes, handful of cashews. curd, tomatoes and some spice which is already at home.
Dum Aloo is a side dish and it can be eaten with roti, chapati, poori, dosa or idli and all type of Naan.
It goes well with simple friend rice, peas rice etc.
Lets see the recipe now
