Kashmiri cuisine is rich, flavourful and used hot spices to flavour their food.The Kashmiri mostly rely on Non vegetarian food .For vegetarian food they have very few options and mostly eat Lotus stem ,potatoes, Rajma and paneer .Kashmiri cuisine carries a variety of potato dishes and Out of which one most exotic potato curry is 'Kashmiri dum aloo 'which is basically creamy,rich fried potatoes curry or An aromatic curry that is cooked in yogurt and flavoured with Kashmiri spices. This curry is absolutely full of delish flavors,the way actually it should be spicy hot & oh!so heavenly .

It's differ from other because it's no onions and no garlic dish and requires minimum ingredients and it gets its beautiful red colour from Kashmiri red chillies.This dish has everything I mean gorgeous colour piquant flavor,nice aroma and spicy taste actually it carries every flavour very delicately.This kind of dish simply makes me happy.I have often received compliments for this dish and the best one from my husband always 'is this really a potato' well.....What's Make Kashmiri dum aloo so special...It's the way the spices marry the potatoes and leave a trace of spicy romance...Hope you guys love my version of Kashmiri dum aloo...With much love from'Nia mommyfood trail'...
