Potato is one of the favorite vegetables for all of us. Almost all curry becomes tastier after adding a potato. And we bong eat potato in so many ways like Alu bhaja (freid potato), Alu seddo (boiled potato with green chili and onion), Alu chokha (mashed potato with fried onion,tomato and dry red chili, Aloor Dam, Chicken & Mutton with potato. So anything with potato is our first choice.
One of a very famous Bengali Dam Aloo is my todays venture, and the specialty of this dish is no onion and no garlic. We used to call this one Niramish Aloor Dam or Veg Dam aloo.
