Ingredients

Dum Aloo

2 pieces dried red chillies
1 big bay leaf
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 small tomatoes, chopped
2-3 large potatoes, cut into large chunks
1 tsp Salt or to taste
3 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
1 tsp coriander powder

Garnishing

1/2 cup Corriander leaves chopped
1 small onion - finely chopped

Instructions

In a heated pan, add vegetable oil. Once it's hot, add bay leaves and dried red chillies. Roast until fragrant.
Add chopped onions to this and sauté until golden brown on a medium to low medium heat.
Add ginger garlic paste (or minced ginger and garlic) and sauté until the raw smell goes away.
Add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt and cook until the tomatoes soften, about 4-5 minutes on medium heat.
Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder and coriander powder and mix well and cook that for about 2 minutes.
Add the chopped potato pieces and mix until the spicy tomato base coats the potato pieces.
Cover and cook for about 8-10 minutes minutes on a medium to low heat, until the potatoes turn soft.
Then, add half a cup of water and cook again for 2-3 minutes.
Serve with roti, basmati rice or Odia Dahi Bara. Garnish with corriander leaves, red chilli powder and finely chopped onions
