Usually baby potatoes are used in any dum aloo gravy. But it is absolutely fine to use
regular potatoes chopped in big chunks. I have peeled the potatoes here. Sometimes baby
potatoes are new and has thin skin. If so I would leave the skin on.

Thanks for the recipe! I will try it this weekend. One question though your
printable version indicates garam masala which is not in your original recipe. It is
also missing from the ingredient list. Do you recommend adding garam masala
and if so how much?

Kanan says

Thanks Macro. That is the good catch. I have updated the printable recipe.
No need to add garam masala as we are grinding the whole spices along with
onion-tomato.

Hi, kanan, I am enthusiastic about cooking different vegetarian dishes and am
constantly on a look for different recipes. In my continuous effort for new recipes I
discovered your site. I not only liked your recipes, but also tried mutter mushroom
as suggested by you.
However gave it a little twist of my own by adding whole garam masala ( bay leaf,
cinamon, cloves etc )and a little kasuri methi.
The dish turned out very tasty.
Thanks a lot for your lovely recipe.
will try many more recipes shared by you.
