Aloo Dum

A hearty celebration of spice and comfort, Aloo Dum is a beloved dish of tender baby potatoes simmered slowly in a vibrant, aromatic gravy. The potatoes are first lightly fried to achieve a golden exterior, allowing them to soak up every layer of flavour as they cook. They’re then gently stewed in a silky sauce made from tomatoes, onions, yoghurt, and a fragrant blend of warming spices—cumin, coriander, Kashmiri chilli, cardamom, and garam masala.
