Nepali  Dum Aloo

Dum Aloo Shimpaji's style. I made this dish when I saw Shimpaji's post. The lovely colour and texture of the picture was so inspiring that I had to make it and share it! Hope it has come somewhere close to your dish Shimpaji. I was in such a hurry to try this one, that I did not wait till I could go to the market and pick up baby potatoes!!  We all loved it. So here goes the recipe made with normal potatoes.

Ingredients

4 potatoes, boiled peeled and made into big cubes
6-7 dry red chilies soaked in water for 15 minutes
3-4 garlic cloves
4 tomatoes blanched and peeled
2 tsp nigella seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric 
1 tsp cumin powder
Salt to taste

Method

First you need to grind the red chillies with the garlic cloves, heat a pan with mustard oil in it, add the nigella seeds, once the aroma comes add the chilli garlic paste and saute a bit and add the tomato puree, turmeric, cumin powder and salt. Mix well add the potatoes and cook till the gravy is cooked. 

As Shimpaji mentions this can be eaten as is, more as a snack with regular sweet tea or coffee rather than as a vegetable. You would find local halwais selling this.
