Tips and Suggestions by Chef:-
  • Always use full-fat curd and as soon as you add the curd, mix it quickly.
  • When you are mixing the curd, lower the flame, or switch off the flame.
  • Do not overboil the potato as we have to further cook it in the curry.
  • If you do not have baby potato then cut the big-sized potato into 2 or 4 equal parts.
  • The flavors are enhanced when dum aloo is cooked on low flame.
  • You can use any red chili powder, but for a nice red color use Kashmiri red chili powder.
  • Adjust the spice as per the requirement.
  • Serve it hot for the better taste.
