I really liked this dish. I wasn't sure if the cooking method would work, browning the potatoes after they are cooked, but it did! I skipped the curds, halved the salt, and used 1 tablespoon of oil instead of all the butter. It would be helpful to have the ingredients in order and to include cilantro among the ingredients. This served 2 for us. Thanks for the yummy recipe!

Very nice recipe. I didn't have baby potatoes which is usually used in dum aloo so I used red potatoes - it worked out. It was nice and creamy without being too spicy.
