Bengali Aloo Dum is a comforting, slightly tangy, and mildly spicy potato curry that is a staple in Bengali households. Made with baby potatoes cooked in a tomato-yogurt gravy, this dish is a beautiful blend of mustard oil, whole spices, and ghee. I love how this dish reminds me of lazy Sunday brunches when it would be paired with soft luchis (deep-fried bread), making every bite a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
