Notes

  • Firstly, make sure to not over cook the potato as the aloo will be again cooked in the curry.
  • Also, make the curry slightly spicy for a rich masaladear flavour.
  • Additionally, if you do not have access to small potatoes, you can cube the big-sized potatoes.
  • Finally, Dum Aloo Recipe tastes great when prepared with a generous amount of oil.
