I got this recipe from a news paper cutting, collected when I was studying college. Usually I don't prepare this because my hubby doesn't like this type of subzi for rotis. He always needs a gravy to go with rotis. So while preparing Dum aloo I took half of the prepared dish and added cashew paste to make it a gravy. Even then I couldn't bring it to gravy consistency. So he didn't like it. But who cares? I loved it. He had some tomato gravy for his rotis. I really enjoyed it from morning till evening. It is very easy to prepare. The toughest part is the peeling of baby potatoes. If some one is there to help you with this, then the dish takes a little time for preparation. As i didn't have saunf powder, I added 1tsp of saunf to oil. And I added the normal red chilly powder.
Ingredients:
Baby Potatoes-250gm
Thick Curd-1/2cup
Saunf Powder-3tsp
