Dum aloo is one of my favorite dish but unfortunately I have made it just once and long back as my DH does not like it. Even this time while I was Cooking he was like no I don't want that. But I promised him it won't be that typical restaurant taste or the sweet taste generally we get when we have it in restaurants. The Dum Olav or Kashmiri Dum Aloo is an extremely fragrant and light preparation with flavorful whole baby potatoes in deliciously thick yogurt based gravy, loaded with nuts (or nut paste) and dry fruits.
