Kashmiri Dum Aloo is a Kashmiri delicacy. Kashmiri Dum Aloo is rich in a taste and spicy. Kashmiri Dum Aloo has no onion, garlic, tomatoes. This Kashmiri cuisine made with baby potatoes and cooked in a yogurt base gravy, which is basically with a hot flavorful spices. Dum is named so because it is cooked under pressure. One of my favorite ways to prepare potatoes is in this spicy, tangy and creamy sauce that hails from the North of India.
