| 4 tablespoons + for deep frying Cooking Oil |

Directions:
Peel small potatoes and prick them with a fork. If small potatoes are not available, then chop large potatoes into big chunks and prick them. Soak them in salted water for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. Drain potatoes, wipe them clean and deep-fry them over medium heat until golden brown. Drain and transfer to plate.
Mix curd, Kashmiri chilli powder, ginger, garlic, cashew nut powder, fennel seed powder, cardamom powder, cumin powder and coriander powder in a small bowl. Whisk to mix flavor of all ingredients with each other.
Heat 4 tablespoons oil in another pan. Add bay leaves and asafoetida and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add 1/3 cup water, salt to taste and turmeric powder.
Bring mixture to boil and then add spiced curd (prepared in step-3) mixture.
When it starts to boil, add fried potatoes and garam masala powder.

Transfer Kashmiri dum aloo to serving bowl and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Tips and Variations:
- Add chopped onion and garlic paste in step-4 for variation.
- Curd must not be sour otherwise prepared curry will taste sour.

I am not good in making North Indian, sabjis, especially those with paneer. I prepared the mattar paneer following the step by step recipe.I did sauté the panner a little bit and added in lukewarm water. I used frozen peas. My son had it and said that it was outstanding. Thanks a lot. I am now confident that I can prepare more dishes following your easy to make recipes which come out as good as you post them.

It is an excellent recepie and I tried this but only mistake was that in step 7, it asks to add potatoes later but it will be good to first get the spices cooked and oil seperated and then add the potatoes else it confuses the reader.
Response: Dear Prashant, thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. There are two reason why this recipe requires adding potatoes in step-7. 1) Potatoes will get sufficient time to get warm as it will get heated along with gravy. 2) Spices will start marinating the potatoes giving it fuller richer flavor. If we add potatoes after oil has started separating, there will not be sufficient time for them to get warm and absorb the flavor of spices. However, you can overcome this problem by cooking them little longer but it may skew/change the flavor of curry.

can we add tomatoes to this gravy
Response: Yes, you can add tomatoes for a variation in taste and texture of gravy. Add 1/2 cup tomato puree (crushed tomatoes) in step-4 and cook until oil starts to separate or for 3-4 minutes over low flame.
