Dum Aloo (also spelled as Dam Aloo) or Aloor Dum (Template:Lang-bn, Template:Lang-hi) is a potato based curry dish. "Dum" means slow-cooked, and "aloo" is potato.[1] It is a part of the traditional Kashmiri Pandit cuisine,[2][3] from the Kashmir Valley, in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. There are also Banarasi and Bengali variations.[1]

Preparation

The potatoes, usually smaller ones, are first skinned and deep fried.[4] Kashmiri dum aloo gravy is made with yogurt or khoya, and often includes a cashew nut paste.[4] The Banarasi variation gravy is made from tomatoes and onions.[5] Spices such as red chilies, garlic, ginger, cardamom, and fennel are added to the gravies.[6][7] The potatoes are cooked slowly at low flame in the gravy, and can be garnished with coriander.[8][9] Dum aloo is often paired and served with naan.[5]
