Tata Sampann Recipes: Iftar Treats – Kashmiri Dum Aloo

The ever-versatile potato takes a festive and royal avatar as Kashmiri Dum Aloo. A dish that is perfect for every occasion, Dum Aloo is made in many different ways in different parts of the country. There is the Punjabi Dum Aloo, Bengali Dum Aloo, Lucknowi Dum Aloo, and the Banarasi Dum Aloo, along with the glorious Kashmiri Dum Aloo.

As the popularity of the Kashmiri Dum Aloo increased, its original recipe got compromised due to many additions and replacements favoured by chefs all over the world. But nothing quite matches up to the authentic dish. The signature tangy, spicy taste is derived by blending locally available spices with thick curd. The striking colour of Kashmiri red chilies makes this dish visually appealing. With potatoes as the main ingredient, there isn’t a single thing to dislike about the Kashmiri Dum Aloo.

India’s top chef, Sanjeev Kapoor shares his authentic version of the Kashmiri Dum Aloo.
