Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes

  • Boil 500g baby potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Peel and set aside.

Fry the Garnish Onions

  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Fry the thinly sliced onions until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside for garnish.

Make the Spice Paste

  • In a bowl, combine the grated onion, ginger, garlic, and tomato. Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well.

Sauté and Simmer

  • Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Add the spice paste and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant. Add the boiled potatoes and fry until coated in the spice mixture.

Create the Gravy

  • Add 1/2 cup of water (or more as needed) to the pan. Simmer until a thick gravy forms, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Final Touches

  • Stir in the garam masala. Garnish with the fried onions. Serve hot with rice or naan.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Dum Aloo

  • For extra flavor, use a mix of red and yellow onions.

  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level.
  • For a richer gravy, add a tablespoon of cream or yogurt at the end.
