        About The Chef
        Lives in : Kolkata India "Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian." Hmmm… as most people would say, I’m completely predictable and also completely crazy at times. Attraction towards the arts and crafts has always been a part of my hobbies. There are some mottos that I have in life. One being, To give my best in whatever I do. The other being, To accept life as it comes.

        • Cook:
        Saraswati Puja is a major festival for Bengali's across the globe; a day celebrated by worshiping the Goddess of Knowledge and all things artistic, it falls on Basant Poornima. Also known as Basant Panchami, this is the first day of spring, and this is the day when everything 'Basanti' or yellow, comes out in full display. In Bengal especially, you will see young girls and women of all ages (even tiny little kids) decked up in yellow sarees or dresses, boys trying their best to woo their female crushes in the 'parar' pandals (local pandals), and the air of festivities is infectious.
        Food, is another iconic part of the rituals. Khichuri or Khichdi is cooked as a part of the puja rituals, along with 'Labra', a mixed vegetable, sides of fries, chutney, etc. Vegetarian or 'niramish' is traditionally eaten, but of course, no one is stopping you from eating 'Amish' or non-veg either

        I made this Shahi Dum Aloo, which we had with Luchis or Bengali-style pooris. While this dish is vegetarian, I have added garlic and onion, which are considered non-veg  one can also make this in a pure 'niramish' way..
        Preparation
        • Peel the potatoes, pierce them with a fork on all sides, and dunk them in cold water while you prepare the masala paste.

        • Boil the chopped/quartered onions, cashews, tomatoes in a cup of water.

        • Strain, peel tomato skins.

        • Put them in a mixer/blender, and make a paste with the ginger and garlic.

        • Heat a pressure cooker, add ghee.

        • Add the bay leaves, and fry the potatoes until they turn golden.

        • Add the masala paste, and the dry masalas.

        • Cook this on a low flame for 10 minutes or until the masala oozes ghee, and turns nice and bhuna.

        • Season with garam masala powder.

        • Add water, sufficiently...to boil the potatoes.

        • Give them 3 whistles or until potatoes are soft.

        • Lastly, garnish with coriander, and if gravy is thin, cook for a few minutes to get a makha-makha (dry gravy) finish :) You can also boil the aloos and then cook them, but I like this way better.
