Omg amazing results with min ingredients. Super easy to make
by mistake I added cream and coriander leaves and put it up for microwave.had to stop short to 1 minute hi cooking instead of 3 minutes.curry came out good.
Tried this out today with excellent results.I thought that the no.of red chillies in the recipe may make it extremely spicy but everything compensated with the amount of butter,honey and cream.This gave a perfect taste and for the first time my younger daughter accepted it without saying it to be spicy otherwise she will be the first one to say 'arey bahut tikha hai aur mein nahin khati'
Place potatoes in a 1-1/2 to 2 quart microwave-safe dish.Cover with lid.Microwave on high for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork; stir once. Transfer to a serving dish.
Dum Aloo is a North Indian curried dish where baby potatoes are steam cooked in a delicious gravy. The word Dum means “cooked with steam” and aloo means “potato” in Hindi. So Dum Aloo is a slow cooked potato curry, which basically uses the dum style of cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and a dash of salt. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, poking holes in the wrap to vent. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Step 1Wash potato thoroughly and pat completely dry. Pierce 3 to 4 times with a fork. Step 2Place potato on microwave-safe plate and microwave 7 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. If your potato isn't fork-tender after 7 minutes, continue microwaving in 1 minute increments until fully cooked.
The word 'Dum' refers to slow cooking by sealing the pot. This dish has two variants – Punjabi Dum aloo and Kashmiri Dum aloo. Both the variants are quite different from each other - the biggest difference being that Kashmiri Dum aloo has very little gravy in it, whereas Punjabi dum aloo is a proper gravy dish.
The potatoes, usually smaller ones, are first skinned and deep fried. Kashmiri dum aloo sauce is made with yogurt or khoya, and often includes a cashew nut paste. The Banarasi variation sauce is made from tomatoes and onions. Spices such as red chilies, garlic, ginger, cardamom, and fennel are added to the sauce.
This dish features small, whole potatoes cooked in a rich and aromatic gravy, showcasing the essence of Kashmiri cuisine. The hallmark of Dum Aloo lies in its delicate blend of spices, with an emphasis on fennel, ginger, and aromatic dried ginger powder, which lends it a unique and slightly sweet flavour profile.
Potatoes take about 5-6 minutes in the microwave for a 1000w microwave. We recommend cutting the potato in half lengthwise for quick, even cooking. For lower wattage microwaves, add 1-2 more minutes of cook time for a fully cooked potato.
Did you know most microwave ovens have a baked potato button? You just press the button for however many baked potatoes you have and they come out perfect every time. Simply cool on the counter, and store in the fridge and use within five days.
You can cook potatoes in a microwave without adding any additional water. Just place them in the microwave and get going. This has a great advantage: potatoes don't turn moister than they were to start with. If anything, they'll dry out slightly.
