Dum Aloo instructions

1. Soak 25-30 cashews in water and set aside.
2. Add ½ tsp of salt and boil potatoes, once they have cooled; peel and prick them with a fork..
3. Put oil in a kadhai/ heavy bottomed pan; fry the potatoes till golden brown, remove on a tissue paper to soak excess oil set aside..
4. Alternatively you can put the potatoes in a baking dish, coat them with oil and bake in the oven at 220 degrees celsius for 20 minutes turning them once in between..
5. Or add 1 tsp of oil, add the boiled potatoes and saute them till they are golden brown like it did.. just to save on some calories!.
6. In a grinder/ mixer, put tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, soaked cashews, grind into a fine paste..
7. Put 2 tbsp of oil in a kadhai/ heavy bottom pan, add cumin, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and the paste made above (tomatoes, cashews etc) and the amul cream.
8. Don’t stop…sauté the masala then add red chili powder and salt as per taste..
9. Keep stirring till the oil separates, once the oil separates add curd (beat the curds well before adding) and sauté..
10. Add water if you want to thin the curry, keep sauteing till the curry boils..
11. Lastly add the fried or baked potatoes and sprinkle the garam masala. Cover the kadhai/ heavy bottom pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, this ensures that the gravy get soaked into the potatoes (remember you had to prick them after boiling them).

13. Lastly add garam masala and let the curry simmer on low heat..
