On the fourth day of our blogging marathon, under the theme "Occasions" ,I am going to give the recipe of most famous Kashmiri dish "Dum aloo". This dish plays a vital role in Kashmiri marriages. The name derives from, aloo or potatoes are cooked as a whole in the sauce and kept in dum .Though I was browsing through several recipes, Kitchen Secrets's recipe was quite impressive. So I adapted from hers.But while frying the onion puree ,care should be taken ,if it is not fried properly, then it may taste bitter. So I added honey.Adjust the amount of spices and honey according to your taste.

Ingredients:
1.Baby potatoes - 10
2.Onion - 1 (big)
3.Toamtoes - 1 1/2 (big)
3.1.Ginger paste - 1/2 tsp
3.1.Ginger paste - 1/2 tsp
4.Kashmiri red chilli powder- 1 tsp.
4.a.Curry powder - 1 tbsp
5.Coriander powdr - 1/2 tbsp.
6.Roasted Cumin powdr - 1 tsp
7.Green chillies - 2
8.Yogurt - 1 cup
9.Cilantro - for garnishing
10.Salt - to taste
11.Oil - 4 tbsp.
12.Cinnamon sticks - 1 inch
13.Bay leaf - 1
14.Cloves - 4
15.Honey - 1 tbsp
Method:
* Wash the baby potatoes ,add a pinch of turmeric pwdr and pressure cook for 1 whistle.When the pressure is completely released,remove them from water immediately,if not the potatoes will absorb water and become soggy.Peel the skin off and slit the baby potatoes .This makes the potatoes absorb the sauce.We can also pierce them with fork,but slitting works well.Mean while ,chop the onion and make puree.Similarly with tomatoes.
* Take a wide pan,add little oil and fry the potatoes partially.That is the potatoes should turn golden brown in all sides.Traditionally,potatoes are deep fried in oil, but I would like to partially fry it.You can think me as health freek, yes I am :) Once the potatoes are fried,keep them aside.
* Now add the tomatoe puree and mix with the onion. Saute well and add the beaten yogurt .While adding the yogurt ,make sure the flame is very low, if not the yogurt will separate its fat.Once the sauce becomes thick,add the fried potatoes along with green chillies. Cover the sauce and cook it in low flame ,till the gravy leaves out oil. Now add honey to the gravy.Adjust salt to taste.The potatoes should absorb the sauce, while cooking .During this process, tightly cover the pan. The gravy should cook in dum for atleast 10 minutes in low flame..
