Dum Aloo– As the title says-stuffed potatoes. A very interesting potato recipe, rich, creamy and delicious too perfect main dish for any dinner party especially for extreme winter days in high lands and for extreme summers when vegetables are generally not available in the market.
Moreover, this potato curry is a rich and creamy potato-based curry that hails from the popular Punjabi cuisine. The recipe is prepared with tomato and onion based sauce with deep-fried stuffed potatoes. This creamy gravy is ideal when served with roti’s or naan but also tastes great with chur chur parantha.
The Stuffed Dum aloo recipe is one of the simple and basic veg curries of India. Potatoes stuffed with paneer and dry fruits and then cooked in creamy shahi gravy.
Which Type Of Potatoes Used?
Market is flooded with verity of potatoes. However, for this specific curry I used medium sized potatoes. I used pahari aloo for this curry The humble potato, abundantly produced in the hilly areas of Himalayan region, popularly known as “pahadi aloo’ is very flavorful and in great demand compared to the potato variety grown in the plains.
