Kashmiri Dum Aloo is traditional Kashmiri potato curry. Although Kashmiri cuisine is famous for its non-veg dishes, there are a few vegetarian dishes that are equally popular. The Dum Aloo is one of the most popular of Kashmiri vegetarian dishes. It is made using baby potatoes that are cooked with various spices such as red chilies, garlic, ginger, cardamom, and fennel. 

The traditional recipe involves cooking the dish on low heat in an earthenware vessel or handi, what is called as Dum. The handi enhances the taste of the dish. The red chilli powder used in this reciep is made from Deghi Mirch (pepper) that gives this dish its unique red colour.

The sweet, spicy Kashmiri Dum Aloo is finger-lickingly good.
