Potatoes in Thick Yogurt Gravy, also known as Dum Aloo, is a popular North Indian dish that combines a blend of spices with potatoes in a creamy and tangy yogurt gravy. Traditionally it's made by deep frying potatoes before adding them into the gravy, but in this recipe, the potatoes are quartered and cooked directly in the gravy, making it a healthier version. This dish can be served as a main course or a side-dish, perfect for any occasion. It's also a great option for vegetarians and those on a gluten-free diet as Besan flour is gluten-free.
