Dum Aloo (also spelled as Dam Aloo) or Aloor Dum (Bengali: আলুর দম, Hindi: दम आलू) is a potato based curry dish. "Dum" means slow-cooked, and "aloo" is 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. There are also Banarasi and Bengali variations.^[1]

The potatoes, usually smaller ones, are first skinned and deep fried.^[4] Kashmiri dum aloo gravy is made with yogurt or khoya, and often includes a cashew nut paste.^[4] The Banarasi variation gravy is made from tomatoes and onions.^[5] Spices such as red chilies, garlic, ginger, cardamom, and fennel are added to the gravies.^[6]^[7] The potatoes are cooked slowly at low flame in the gravy, and can be garnished with coriander.^[8]^[9] Dum aloo is often paired and served with naan.^[5]
