Dum Aloo recipe, Side dish for roti

   Dum aloo  recipe a popular tomato and yogurt based gravy, pairs well with jeera rice and chapati. I  wanted to try Dum aloo recipe for a long time and when i saw cute little baby potatoes in the market i bought it without giving any second thought. If you don't get bright red ripe tomatoes in your place,  i highly recommend the usage of tomato puree since it gives a great taste and nice colour. Let's see how to make dum aloo.
