About Kashmiri dum aloo
Kashmiri dum aloo is a baby-potato dish in a spiced yogurt gravy. Dassana Amit’s Kashmiri Pandit-style recipe uses mustard oil, dried ginger, fennel and whole spices.
Yogurt gives tang, while Kashmiri chilli adds a robust warmth. Fennel, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom create aromatic layers around the potatoes.
The potatoes are tender inside, with a fried exterior that carries the thickened gravy. The dish is served hot, with steamed basmati rice offered as an accompaniment.
