How to make Dum Aloo Dhaba Style with step by step recipe - One of the most loved potato sabzi's, Dum Aloo is a palatable potato curry. Although Dum Aloo is a traditional Kashmiri dish, a lot of variations have come up in this recipe. 

So, today I am sharing my staple recipe of dhaba style Dum Aloo. Therefore, here’s how to make tender and delectable Dum Aloo Recipe Step by Step easily at home. I love dhabha style dishes like chicken curry which I have already shared in my blog, I have tried many dhaba style recipes in my kitchen.  


Dhaba pronounced as “Dha-bah” refers to roadside restaurants which are situated on highways and generally serve local cuisine.


 They are most commonly found next to petrol stations, and most are open 24 hours a day. The word dhaba has come to represent any restaurant that serves Punjabi food, especially the heavily spiced.

  I am always on a look out for simple yet interesting dinner recipes. And, this Dhaba Style Dum Aloo is perfect to make on the days when I wish to serve a vegetarian meal. 

Most importantly, Dum Aloo is a mix well and cook fried potatoes with onion tomato based gravy. And, because it has tomato puree, flavors of cumin seeds and fennel seeds, trust me, this side tastes mouthwatering.

A few years back, I shared the recipe of Dum Aloo in authentic Punjabi style. Moreover, Dum Aloo is made in different ways like Bengali, Punjabi, Banarasi, Restaurant Style & Nepali as well.

Also if you are looking for the thick gravy curry types that you usually get in restaurants, give this one a try. I’m sure you will not be disappointed.

    I always prefer dhaba food to hi end resturants as they have a hearty feel to the food and so much depth of flavours are there which is lacking in any high end restaurants your version of dhaba style dum Aloo is bang on in flavours and look would love to enjoy it with some hot Tandoori rotis.

    If you are to eat authentic food , go to a dhaba. They serve a teal authentic food without any frills. These dum aloo look so good with a lovely color of the gravy.
