Dum Aloo recipe by my Mother in law..Sure hit

On the occasion of Karvachauth...I was introduced  to a recipe by Ketans mumma which is our favourite family recipe now and it is enjoyed by all of us on the special day with Poori and a Chana daal khicdi which is a tradition being followed for years in our household.
Lets come to the recipe which is I am sure would hit the palates ....
Serving for two adults per meal.Fresh ingredients make the dish tastier.                                                                        


Ingredients:
1)Four medium potatoes
2)Fresh tomato puree of three tomatoes
3)Two medium sized onions
4)Green chillies according to heat tolerant level
5)Ginger and garlic paste
6)Fresh cream or Malai
7)Dry masala-pinch  of turmeric,one and half spoon coriander powder,garam masala,red chilli powde,kasturi methi,jeera .
8)Salt to taste
9)Sunflower oil for cooking or any of your choice
10)Coriander green to garnish
First we will cut potatoes in cube and then would deep fry them in oil at high flame to make them golden brown.For the gravy we would take seperate pan and heat oil for shallow frying, Add jeera when oil is ready then would add finely chopped onion to turn them golden and would add ginger garlic paste.Add green chillies when all mix is brown in colour.Now we would add dry masala powders and tomato puree.Let mix fry to an extent that it leaves oil and one could smell the aroma of all condiments.Add some water to give it thick consisitency and add salt.Once the gravy is cooked add cream to provide richness and colour of royalty.
After adding cream one should not cook it on flame for long,Add kasturi methi for fragrance and add potatoes to the gravy once all done ,five minutes of cooking with gravy and garnishing with coriander greens.
The dish is ready for serving and is enjoyed with poori ,parantha and chapati  as well.
The dish promises to be rich with flavour and calories,so enjoy the weekend and work harder on weekdays.
Best of luck with cooking ....
