During my kindergarten days I lived in Darjeeling, West Bengal for about a year. Aloo Dum is a dish we used to have there. I got this recipe from my aunt who lived in Darjeeling with her family too. I was too young to remember much about that place. But my mum tries to recall about those winter, going to school having khichidi and aloo dum. We had been to Darjeeling sometime when I was in college. Had corn, steamed momos but completely missed relishing aloo dum.
I do not prefer preparing potato dishes too many times but occasionally I make aloo dum for dinner to serve it with chapathi. This can be made with baby potatoes and really spicy. But I make it with normal potatoes without too many chunky pieces and spice level as medium.
