As a Bengali, Dorma is a common dish and can be prepared with a variety of vegetables. However, the one I am sharing today is how it is made in my parents place.

Absolutely delicious and spicy. You will be asking for more puri and potol dorma.

Ingredients:

  1. 8-10 potol
  2. 4 medium size onions
  3. 7-10 garlic cloves
  4. 2 inch ginger

  6. 4-5 cloves (get Classic Whole Cloves)
  7. 3 cardamom (get Cardamom)
  8. 1/2 cup tomato puree
  9. 1/2 cup sour yogurt
  10. 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves chopped
  11. 1/4 cup fresh cream (get Amul Fresh Cream)
  12. 2 tbsp. desiccated coconut powder (get Organic Coconut Powder)
  13. 2 tbsp. coriander powder
  14. 1 tbsp. red chilly powder
  15. 1 tbsp. turmeric powder
  16. 1 tbsp. sugar

Method:

Make one long slit along a side of potol.

Smear some turmeric powder and salt on all the potols.

Fry the potols well.
Take them out in a plate and keep for later usage.
Now in the same kadhai, heat more oil.
Meanwhile prepare a smooth puree of onion, garlic and ginger.
In the hot oil temper cinnamon, cardamom, cloves for not more than 20 seconds.

Add this to the onion-tomato mixture.
On low heat stir well for 5 minutes or till the masala begins to form a lump and leaves the sides of the kadhai.
Now add the previously fried potols.
Add 1/2 cup water or more for a thick gravy.
