In this recent post, I told you about Goda Masala and mentioned that how we started liking Maharashtra Cuisine. Recently I prepared few dishes, Veg Kolhapuri, Misal Pav and vangi Bhat. So delicious and lip smacking but I did not put them in the frame thinking there are thousands of recipes out there, however one recipe which I created and as far as I know ( Please do let me know if any of you seen or posted this recipe before me ) I am the first one who has developed this recipe and posting it too. It’s Goda Dum Aloo!

Full of flavours and spices, lip smacking Goda Dum Aloo where I did not fry the potatoes, neither submerged in any kind of rich gravy but only lightly roasted them in a little oil and made usual gravy using onion, garlic and tomatoes. Goda Masala imparts a wonderfully smoky sweetness which is unique to this spice blend, to the curry.
