20. Coriander leaves - chopped
SERVES -2
PREPARATION
Blend onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and green chillies together to make a fine paste. Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the boiled potatoes and keep them aside. Now in the same pan add bay leaf, cumin seeds and black pepper seeds and fry for few seconds. now add the paste and fry it on a low flame for couple of minutes until the oil separates from the paste, while keep on stirring it. When this is cooked, add coriander powder, cumin powder kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and 1/2 cup of water and again cook on a low flame for couple of minutes until the sauce is thick. Now add the potatoes in it and keep on stirring till the potatoes are finely coated with the paste. Add 1/2 cup of water again and again saute it for 5 minutes on a low flame (I guess that's why it is named as Dum Aloo). Now add crushed cloves, cinnamon powder and cardamon powder, chopped coriander leaves and again mix and let it cook on a low flame with a covered lid for 5 mins.
When you open the lid, an exotic flavor would tempt you to have it immediately... So, don't wait. Serve it with Maida loochi (Puri) and enjoy your dish... :)
