Usually we in North India make dum aaloo with masala(spices) bought by market. But today we will prepare it by grinding own masalas.
Ingredients:
- One tsp cummin seeds
- One tsp panch phoran masala
- One tsp black pepper (whole)
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 2 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 2 tsp dry mango powder (aamchur)
- One inch ginger
- 1 green chili
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 kg boiled, peeled and roughly chopped potatoes
- 2 tbsp mustard oil/desi ghee
Method:
Dry roast all the whole spices except bay leaf and grind it.
Mix powdered spices into it.
Pour oil in a large pan heat it. Add asafoetida and cummin seeds with bay leaf. Add chopped ginger and green chillies. Add chopped potatoes too and saute it well. Mix 250 ml water into it and leave it on low medium flame.
Now piping hot dum aaloo is ready. No garlic no onion used still tasty.
