Dum aloo is a popular Indian dish made by cooking potatoes (aloo) in a spicy tomato-based gravy. The dish is typically made by first frying the potatoes until they are golden brown, then cooking them in a gravy made from a mixture of spices, tomatoes, and yogurt. The dish is then slow-cooked on low heat (dum) to allow the flavors to fully develop. Dum aloo is often served with rice or roti and is a popular dish in North India and Pakistan. Some variation of this dish can be found in other parts of India and Nepal, as well.
