"Kashmiri Dum Aloo Recipe with Step by Step Pictures. Delicious dum aloo made using potatoes, yogurt which taste delicious with roti and rice."
Kashmiri Dum Aloo is a very popular kashmiri dish which goes well with literally anything and everything.
I have already made a punjabi dum aloo in this blog before. This version of dum aloo is entirely different. It is completely yogurt based and I used normal potatoes instead of baby potatoes. Still the curry turned out amazing.
The Different step which i tried in this recipe is I smoked the curry in the end. Smoking adds a restaurant style flavour to the dish. Smoking a curry or a dish is very easy. It is not at all complicated.
How to Smoke a Curry using Coal:
- Take a piece of charcoal(coal). Place it in direct flame for at least 5 mins till it gets red hot.
- Place the hot coal in a clean bowl or a bowl made using aluminium foil.
- With the help of tongs, place the bowl with the charcoal over the curry in the centre.
- Pour half a teaspoon of ghee onto the charcoal and cover the pan with a lid immediately.
- Let it smoke for about 2-3 minutes while keeping the lid on.
How long can we smoke a dish:
I would recommend smoking it for 2 to 3 minutes maximum. The longer you smoke, the dish gets too smoked which might add an unpleasant after taste.
