Dum aloo sabzi is the wholesome preparation with potatoes. I like to cook this dum aloo sabzi with baby potatoes. The sabzi has two parts to make. The potatoes are boiled as a first step. Those are pricked after peeling. Pricking them all around with a knife or a fork would help them to absorb all the flavours of the gravy. After pricking well, these potatoes are pan or deep-fried. A gravy of spices infused dahi, and onion tomatoes with some aromatics and regular spices are prepared as step-2. Finally, the fried potatoes are cooked with the gravy so that the potato absorbs all the flavours with an awesome outcome
