Spicy Kashmiri Dum Aloo Recipe – A Must-Try Comfort Food!

Ever tried Kashmiri Dum Aloo? If not, you’re missing out on one of the most flavor-packed, rich, and comforting potato dishes ever! It’s spicy, creamy, and oh-so-satisfying — trust me, anyone who tries it ends up licking their fingers.

This version uses baby potatoes that are boiled, peeled, and pricked to soak up all the masala goodness. Then comes the deep-frying — and yes, it’s done in mustard oil for that signature smoky punch (don’t skip it!).

The real magic? It’s in the masala. A paste of soaked Kashmiri red chillies and cashews mixed into whisked curd makes the base rich, creamy, and beautifully red without being overly spicy. Add in some tempered jeera, hing, and Chukde’s powerful saunf powder, dhania powder, and Kashmiri mirch powder— and your kitchen will smell like heaven.

Once the masala bubbles up, add those golden fried potatoes, simmer low and slow… and finish with a sprinkle of kasuri methi, garam masala, and fresh coriander. That’s it — no tomatoes, no onion, just original spice and curd magic!

FAQs

Q. Can I skip mustard oil?

Technically yes, but you’ll miss the authentic flavor. Mustard oil gives that traditional Kashmiri touch.

Q. Is it very spicy?

Not really! Thanks to Kashmiri red chillies, you get a vibrant color and gentle warmth without burning your tongue.

Q. Can I make this without deep-frying?

You can shallow fry or air-fry the potatoes, but deep frying gives that perfect crust that holds the curry better.

Q. What’s the best side dish with this?

Steamed rice or plain roti — keep it simple. The curry is the star.
