Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra crunch and depth, lightly fry the boiled baby potatoes until golden before adding them to the gravy—this helps them absorb the sauce better and adds subtle texture.
  • If you’d like a richer Mughlai flavor, stir in a tablespoon of ground cashews or almonds along with the poppy seed paste for a creamier, more luxurious sauce.
  • To balance the tanginess and spice, try drizzling a spoonful of saffron-infused cream over the finished dish just before serving—this adds a subtle aroma and a regal presentation.
  • Leftover Mughlai Dum Aloo tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop further; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat, adding a splash of water or cream to revive the gravy’s texture.
