Delicious Dum Aloo

Delicious Dum Aloo

As I don’t have the next cool vegetarian place to write about, I thought I would share a picture from my kitchen.

This is Dum Aloo, a dish I have never cooked before. Roasted baby potatoes in a cashew-tomato-onion sauce, spiced with cumin, nigella seeds, dried fenugreek leaves and garam masala, garnished with verdant cilantro.

This recipe is a total keeper. It comes from One Hot Stove, one of my favorite food blogs. I refer to this blog again and again, and I have a running list of to-make dishes, all taken from here. Nupur has an approach to cooking that is fairly similar to my own and I am hugely inspired by his resourcefulness, creativity, sensible attitude and dynamism.

Here is the original recipe.
