Aloo - Dum



Ingredients:
500 gms Potato (Boiled & cut into cubes)
2 Green Chilly
1 Tomato (BIG) & Onion (BIG) (Mixer grind it and make a paste)
1/4 Teaspoon Kalo Jeera (Kalonji)
1/4 Teaspoon Jeera (Cumin Seed)
1/4 Teaspoon Sauf (Fennel Seed)
1 Teaspoon ginger/Garlic Paste
1 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 Teaspoon Coriander Powder
2 Teaspoon Red Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin Powder

Coriander leaves (finely chopped)

About 30-40 Ml Mustard Oil.

Preparation Process: 
Boiled potatoes & cut into cubes. Now take a pan and pour the mustard oil, once heated put Jeer, Kalo Jeera(Kalonji) and saute it for sometime. Prepare a liquid mixture of spices by adding Turmeric, Coriander, Red Chill & Cumin power in a cup with little bit of water (The whole idea of preparing this liquid mixture is the avoid burning the spices if added directly in hot oil). Add this liquid mixture in pan and fry it for sometime. Put Sauf, Green Chill (slit), Ginger/Garlic paste and fry it for sometime. Add salt as per your taste. Finally add the Onion-Tomato paste and fry till all spices cooked up properly. Add the potato cubes and stir it well. You can add the water as per your choice and gravy thickness. After 5-7 mins of cooking your Aloo-Dum should be ready to serve. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
