Instructions
- To make Bengali Aloor Dum firstly wash baby potatoes and keep aside. Now there are two methods to prepare the Aloo. First, either boil potatoes and peel them later. Second, peel potatoes and prick on them using a fork on all sides, fry till golden in color . Either ways the outcome will be the same. I prefer the second method as the flavors get inside the potatoes through the tiny holes made on them.
- Once you’ve fried the potatoes in mustard oil, add one bay leaf and 1 tsp cumin seeds to the remaining oil. As they splutter, add onions and fry them till they sweat.
- Now add ginger garlic paste and fry the masala till raw smell goes off. Once the masala is nicely browned, add tomatoes and turmeric powder and mix well. This will cut the heat of the masala and will neutralize it. Fry everything till oil starts leaving the sides.
- Now add the peas along with fried baby potatoes and Aloo Dum Masala. Mix everything well and add little water from sides if you see the masala sticking to the pan. Let the Aloo cook well, also until the peas get softened.
- Now add water as per your required consistency for the curry and adjust salt as per taste. Give the curry a boil and cook with lid closed in low flame for another 5 min.
- Once the curry is nicely thickened, turn off the gas and sprinkle sugar on the Aloo dum. Give a quick stir and serve hot with Rice and luchi.
