Dum aloo (also spelled as dam aloo, Hindi: दम आलू, romanized: dam ālū), aloor dum (Bengali: আলুর দম, romanized: ālūr dam) or aloo dum (Odia: ଆଳୁ ଦମ, romanized: ālū dam) is a potato-based curry dish. The word dum translates to as steam-cooked or slow-cooked, while aloo means potato.[1] It is a part of the traditional Kashmiri Pandit cuisine,[2][3] from the Kashmir Valley, in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Dum aloo is cooked widely in India and Pakistan.[4] There are also Banarasi and Bengali variations.[1]
