Boil the potatoes in their skins for 12 minutes, drain, and pierce them in a few places with a fork.
Toss the potatoes in half the vegetable oil for 8 minutes, until the outside takes on color.
Puree the onion, garlic, and ginger.
Heat the cumin in the remaining oil for 30 seconds, add the onion puree, and fry for 6 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt.
Thicken the sauce for 7 minutes, then add the potatoes and water.
Cover the pot and cook dum aloo over low heat for 15 minutes.
💡 Tip: Pierce the small potatoes with a fork; the sauce will not stay only on the outside and carries spiced flavor inward.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve dum aloo with basmati rice, optional strained yogurt, and parsley in place of cilantro.
