Indian Dum Aloo | Authentic Kashmiri Dum Aloo Recipe

 Indian Dum Aloo is a rich and flavorful North Indian curry made with baby potatoes slowly simmered in a creamy, aromatic yogurt and tomato-based gravy. Originating from Kashmir, this traditional dish is famous for its tender potatoes infused with fragrant spices, making it a favorite for festive meals, family dinners, and special occasions.

Baby potatoes are boiled, lightly fried until golden, and then cooked on low heat ("dum") in a luxurious gravy made with yogurt, tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices including Kashmiri red chili powder, fennel powder, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and kasuri methi. Slow cooking allows the potatoes to absorb the rich flavors, creating a beautifully balanced curry that is mildly spicy, creamy, and deeply satisfying.

Indian Dum Aloo pairs perfectly with naan, roti, paratha, jeera rice, steamed basmati rice, or pulao. Whether you're preparing a traditional Indian feast or simply craving comforting vegetarian cuisine, this classic recipe is guaranteed to impress. 

Cooking Method


  1. Boil the baby potatoes until just tender.
  2. Peel the potatoes and prick them lightly with a fork.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and fry the potatoes until lightly golden. Set aside.
  4. Heat the remaining oil and butter in a pan.
  5. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  6. Add the onions and cook until golden brown.
  7. Stir in the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute.
  8. Add the tomato puree and cook until the oil begins to separate.
  9. Mix in the Kashmiri chili powder, coriander powder, fennel powder, turmeric, cumin powder, and salt.
  10. Lower the heat and gradually stir in the whisked yogurt to prevent curdling.
  11. Add the water and bring to a gentle simmer.
  12. Add the fried baby potatoes.
  13. Cover and cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes.
  14. Stir in the garam masala and crushed kasuri methi.
  15. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
  16. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of cream if desired.
