Dum aloo is a popular Indian dish made primarily from potatoes. The name translates to "potato in steam," referring to the cooking method where the potatoes are simmered in a rich, spiced gravy. The dish is often prepared with whole or halved baby potatoes, which are first boiled and then sautéed with a blend of spices, including cumin, coriander, and garam masala. This flavorful curry is typically served with rice or Indian bread like naan or roti. Variations of dum aloo exist across different regions of India, with some recipes incorporating yogurt or cream for added richness. It is a favorite among vegetarians and is enjoyed for its comforting taste.
