The word dum translates to as steam-cooked or slow-cooked, while aloo means potato.[1] It is a part of the traditional Kashmiri Pandit cuisine,[2][3] from the Kashmir Valley, in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Dum aloo is cooked widely in India and Pakistan.[4] There are also Banarasi and Bengali variations.[1]

Preparation
The potatoes, usually smaller ones, are first skinned and deep fried.[5] Kashmiri dum aloo sauce is made with yogurt or khoya, and often includes a cashew nut paste.[5] The Banarasi variation sauce is typically more aromatic and is made from tomatoes and onions.[6] Spices such as red chilies, garlic, ginger, cardamom, and fennel along with other herbs, are added to the sauce.[7][8] The potatoes are cooked slowly at low flame in the sauce, and can be garnished with coriander.[9][10] Dum aloo is often paired and served with naan.[6]
