RESTAURANT STYLE PUNJABI DUM ALOO
    




Dum is the name of the technique of cooking a dish in its own steams. In cooking with a slow cooker, you will often be using a variation of this technique. This is accomplished in a slow cooker by putting the lid on top of the slow cooker and allowing none of the steam to really escape. Dum allows the dish to keep the smell and flavors sealed inside. In the past, they would use wheat flour dough to seal the container and then set the pot on hot coals. There, the dish would cook until it was completed. Obviously, you won’t be using the wheat flour dough with our recipes, but it is really interesting to know how the style of cooking was originally done.
