Aloo Dum Masala

Aloo Dum (Potato Curry) using Roopak's Aloo Dum Masala:

Ingredients:

• 4 Medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1-Inch piece of ginger, minced
• 1 Teaspoon Roopak's Aloo Dum Masala
• 1/2 Teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 Teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon cumin powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
• Water, as needed

Instructions:

• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
• Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
• Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they turn mushy and the oil starts separating from the mixture.
• Now, add the diced potatoes to the pan. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the onion-tomato mixture.
• Add Roopak's Aloo Dum Masala, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt to taste. Mix everything well so that the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
• Pour enough water to cover the potatoes. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer over medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
• Once the potatoes are tender and the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat.
• Garnish the Aloo Dum with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
• Serve hot with rice, roti, or naan.
