This is the easiest dum aloo recipe which you can prepare with the basic household ingredients that is currently available with you. It doesn't include onion and garlic. Therefore you can have it during any pujas and upvas. I believe that a "good cook" is the one who simplifies the dish by his/her innovation without doing any compromise with the taste.
