    Easy Dum Aloo Masala is a simple potato gravy that gets done in under 30 mins and you can easily make this for your kids' lunch box. This simple gravy is made with baby potato and makes a delicious side dish with rotis.

    Sometime back when I was in need to make a quick side dish to pack for the kids, I had baby potatoes on hand and only about 30 mins to spare. So this came about. This creamy dish is not as elaborate gravy as the regular Dum Aloo. However, I was happy to see my kids enjoying it. This gravy will surely impress.

    The cashew and cream surely make this a creamy gravy and you can improvise by adding ginger garlic paste and a few more spices to make it more intense. I felt for a simple meal this gravy was delicious.

    After writing nonstop for a month, this week's posts seem too easy and fun to complete.

      This may be the quick version compared to real recipe but it is pretty elaborate for the morning rush. The gravy looks creamy with the cashews and cream

      I love such easy breezy gravies. After seeing your potato posts, I made a dry roast for my daughter yesterday and she loved it. This dum aloo with cashews is so creamy and perfect for rotis..

      Quick fix for rotis, within 30 mins, sounds perfect. Cashews and cream surely enhance the taste and richness of this Dum Aloo. All 3 recipes with the potatoes are awesome, Valli.
