I have been thinking of making dum aloo for quite a long time. Each time i used to buy baby potatoes specially to make this, but somehow end up in trying different recipes. Last week i bought some potatoes and immediately tried it the next day.

Similar Recipes,

Potato Curry
Aloo Butter Masala

Dum aloo is made so many ways, this time i made it the punjabi way with onions, tomatoes and stuffs like that. Next time will share the traditional kashmiri dum aloo.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
