So now I am going to show you the spicy recipe of Kashmiri dum Aloo.
Let's get started!
Method-
1- First, you need to boil the potatoes until you are just able to peel off their skin easily. I took water in a large pan and put it on heat. Once it was warm, I added in the potatoes.
2- Let it come to a boil
3- Once the water came to a boil, I switched off the flame and covered the pan. Let it remain covered for around 15 minutes.
4- Then drain the water and peel the potatoes. The skin would come off easily.
5- Now take a toothpick and prick the peeled potato all over. Pass the toothpick right through the potatoes and be careful not to break them while doing this. Repeat with all the potatoes.
6-Now, heat oil in a kadai/pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot drop the potatoes in the oil carefully, one at a time.
7-Fry the potatoes until they are golden brown in color from both sides. Drain on a paper towel.
8-Now in another kadai or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of mustard oil on medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add cumin seeds, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, black cardamom, green cardamom and cloves. Saute for 1 minute.
9-Now add kashmiri red chili powder (which is very different from regular chili powder so use the right one, kashmiri red chili powder gives the curry a vibrant red color without adding heat) and whipped yogurt. Keep stirring until you see a bright red colour.
10-Then add the fried potatoes into the pan.
11-Add fennel powder, ginger powder, salt. Also add 1.5 to 2 cups of water and stir.
12-Mix so that all potatoes are coated with the spice mix.
13-Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes on medium flame or until the curry becomes thick and very little of it is left.
14-There isn’t much curry in Kashmiri dum aloo, in fact I simmered it for 15 minutes (with 1.5 cups water) and ended up with almost no curry/gravy. You can simmer for just 10 minutes so that you still have come curry left.
