Mughlai dum aloo is a classic North Indian dish that hails from the
Mughlai cuisine, known for its rich and flavorful preparations.
Mughlai dum aloo is made with potatoes (aloo) cooked in a rich and flavorful gravy (dum). The potatoes are deep-fried before being added to the gravy, which gives them a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior.

Partially cook the potatoes for about 22-25 minutes on a medium flame so you get parboiled potatoes. Cut each parboiled potato into 2 halves vertically with the help of a sharp knife. Scoop the potatoes and mash the scooped portion and keep aside. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep-fry the potato halves till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper and keep aside to cool slightly. Stuff the potatoes with the prepared paneer stuffing mixture.
