Nepali style Aloo Dum with Chiwda /Poha/ Flattened rice step by step

1. Boil, cool and peel the potatoes, small potatoes get cooked in half an hour in a covered pot..
2. Soak the red whole dry Chillies in warm water for at least an hour so that it's easy to grind and make a paste. Dry roast the sesame and poppy seeds, it will hardly take time, just a minute or so (do not over roast it and burn it, otherwise it will become bitter)..
3. Once the roasted sesame and poppy seeds cools, grind it dry in the mixer grinder or mortar pestle into a fine powder. Peel and make a paste of the garlic, onion,make a paste of the soaked Chillies and puree of the tomatoes separately in the mixer grinder one by one..
4. Now heat a kadai, add mustard oil, once it's heated, add the Paanch Foran or Kalonji, once it crackles, add the garlic paste and saute for few seconds, then add the onion paste and saute it for about 10 minutes, then add the tomatoes and saute it for another 10 minutes or so..
5. In between after adding the Tomato puree add salt as per taste, chili paste, Turmeric powder. As you saute it, if required add little warm water do that it doesn't burn, cook till the raw flavour of the onion and tomato goes off..
6. After this add the Sesame poppy seeds powder and little warm water (may be 1/4 to 1/2 cup) and cook and saute for about 3 minutes..
7. Add in the boiled and peeled potatoes and mix it gently so that the potatoes don't break. If required add warm water maybe about 1/2 cup and cook the potatoes in the gravy for another 5 minutes or so. Check the salt, add if required. You can add a little more water depending on the consistency of the gravy you prefer. But we make it a little dry kind so that the gravy is stuck to the potatoes and not a runny kind..
8. Serve it with chiwda /poha along with chopped onion,green/ red raw Chillies, coriander leaves, lemon wedge and a cup of hot tea. It goes well with Luchi - Bengali style Puri (another favourite combo...recipe link is given below) and Sel Roti- the traditional Nepali roti made of rice flour (shaped like a ring and is lightly sweetened). Bon Appetit!!! (see recipe).
