I haven’t been active on the blog circuit recently. Been un-well a bit and traveling around out of Pune. Even heat has started taking a bit of toll on me. It really upsets me so much that I loose interest entering the kitchen and preparing something. It’s a little irritating getting up and facing a question “aaj jhevayala kay banavaycha ahe” (what is to be prepared for lunch or dinner today). A little hectic and running around took me down with cold as well. Even could not keep up replying to various blogs (sorry guys).
Finally, I came out of blues, gave my self a kick 
and started cooking. Eventually I was back to shape. I had some nice small potatoes in my kitchen and what better dish to prepare than Dum Aloo. This is my take on this wonderful recipe.
Hope you all like it a lot.
Ingredients –
Baby Potatoes – 7 – 8
Plain Curd (whisked) – ½ cup
Garam masala – 1 ½ teaspoon
Coriander powder – ½ teaspoon
Cumin powder – ½ teaspoon
Red chili powder – 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder – ½ teaspoon
Oil – 2 teaspoons
Onion (minced) – ½ cup
Ginger garlic paste – 1 teaspoon
Cashew nuts (grounded) – ¼ cup
Tomato (minced)– ½ cup
Salt – to taste
Oil – to deep fry the potatoes
Procedure –
- Boil the baby potatoes for 3 whistles. Once cooled peel and prick the potatoes with a fork or a pin.
- Deep fry the potatoes until golden brown in color. Drain out the excess oil with the help of a tissue paper.
- In a pan heat 2 teaspoons oil and add minced onion and ginger garlic paste. Sauté until the onion becomes pink in color.
- Add the minced tomatoes, garam masala, red chili powder, grounded cashew nuts and turmeric powder and sauté until oil separates.
- Now add the whisked curds, salt and along with it add the fried baby potatoes. Add the cumin powder and coriander powder too.
- Let it cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Serve hot with rotis or parathas.
Tips -
You may add 1 teaspoon crushed kasuri methi for extra taste.
When you fry the baby potatoes they should become very light in weight. If not then it means the potatoes aren’t pricked enough.

Hey Deepa,
Lovely recipe, looks very friendly and easy to make. I also don;t like being the kitchen on a hot summer day – but for summer is too far away – we still have some snow on the ground.
I had a question – when do you add the grounded Cashew nuts?? I missed that part in your detail.
Glad you are feeling better.
BTW, love your site and layout and guest bloggers.
