DUM ALOO IN COCONUT GRAVY

You all must have relished Dum aloo quite number of times but this time I tried something different. Spicy Dum aloo in coconut milk gravy which gives it a very tangy twist. Do try it and you will love it.

     INGREDIENTS

1.       6 baby potatoes

2.       2 small sized tomato

3.       2 small onion                                                                                                             

4.       Ginger-garlic-green chilly paste  1 tsp

5.        Khada Garam masala

(coarsely powdered black pepper,cloves,tejpatta,cinnamon)  1 tsp

6.       Red chilly powder   1tsp

7.       Turmeric powder    1 tsp

8.       Coriander powder   1 tsp

9.       Salt to taste

10.   Coconut Milk           1 cup

11.   Oil                             2 tsp

  

METHOD

Peel the potatoes and wash them. Prick them with the help of a fork and shallow  fry them in a pan and keep aside.

In a blender roughly blend onion and tomatoes for gravy. In another pan, heat 2 tsp oil and put coarse garam masala and sauté it. Then add ginger-garlic-green chilly paste and sauté till it turns brown. Add onion-tomato puree and mix the gravy well. Now add the dry ingredients ( turmeric,chilly and coriander powder).  When they start leaving oil, add the fried potatoes and cover it with lid. You can add little water so that gravy doesn’t stick to the bottom.

When the potatoes are 80% cooked add coconut milk and take a boil and cover it up again for 5 minutes.

Serve hot with chapatis or parathas.

( I prefer spicy gravy so I have added red chilly powder to my taste. You can adjust it to your taste if you like it mild.)
