Aloo-Dum

Fresh new potatoes from the farm are the best ones to make Aloo dum.If you don’t have new potatoes that’s ok.Mostly prefered in the winter season,I love having sugarcane juice with Aloo dum,you can have your choice or the best is ginger tea with this snack.This is completely how its made in my granny house,from the region of Purvanchal,food my way
