Aloo Dum


Aloo Dum is very popular at my place. I don't think there is anyone who don't like potato, and whoever likes potato will be having aloo dum in his/her favorite list. I have tried many version of aloo dum but I like the version which I'm sharing here. I made this last weekend only when friends came to my place over lunch.
