Steps

1hr 15 minutes

1

Take a deep bottom utensil/ kadhai, pour in 3 cups of oil & keep it on low flame.
2

Peel & wash all the potatoes and boil for 15 min, so that it becomes soft from inside...but do not boil for long...or else it will turn into mashed potatoes
3

Take out all potatoes and put in a bowl with ice cold water (to stop the cooking process), remove it after 5-7 min. With a help of a fork, prick the complete surface of all the potatoes.
4

Now, increase the flame of kadhai (which we kept earlier), add all the potatoes careful and fry it till the outer surface is golden. Do not burn it...keep stirring in between...on low- medium flame.
5

Above step will take around 10-15 min. Then take out the potatoes & let it rest till we prepare our gravy.
6

Take another kadhai and add 2Tbsp of oil, keep on medium flame. Add 1/2 cup khade masale and stir until you get the aroma
7

Add tomato paste, cook for 5-7 minutes, then add all species (except Garam masala),and keep stirring on low flame.
8

Once you see oil oozing out of this mix, turn off the gas, let it cool down, in this time, mix curd & 1tsp jeera in a bowl and add it into the mix...keep stirring.
9

Turn on the gas, keep in low flame, keep stirring, add cashew paste & mix till you get this consistency
10

In a frying pan, add 2tbsp of leftover oil, and add the previously fried potatoes...now shallow fry it in low flame for 10 mins.
11

In the gravy mix, add salt as per your taste, 3 cups of water, stir it once, let it cook on low flame for 15 minutes
12

Now add baby potatoes in the mix & stir gently. Let it cook for 20 minutes.
13

Add a pinch of sugar & mix
14

Add 1tbsp garam masala to the gravy and mix. Let it cook for 10 minutes then add 1tbsp of crushed kasuri methi, give it a gentle mix.
15

Decorate with chopped coriander / fresh cream and Aloor Dum is ready!!!
16

Pricking potatoes with fork is an important step as it will help potatoes to absorb the gravy. If baby potatoes are not available then cut the potatoes into quarters (4 pieces from one.) If there is a high cholesterol patient in home / you do not want to do the 1st frying part....then just boil the peeled potatoes for an extra 5-7 min on low flame.
Check if the potatoes is soft till inside....then put in the gravy. Don't forget to enjoy!!
