HI
Srivalli announced that Kashmiri dum aloo would be the Dish of this month's ICC challenge. I have cooked Benarasi dum aloo a couple of times but this particular recipe is my first. Was a pretty easy challenge and a very tasty one particularly for my Daughter who will not relish anything south indianish.Lol:-)
The original recipe is hereI have tweaked the recipe a little to my daughter's taste.
