Niramish means without onion and garlic. Usually when we offer a meal to god / goddess with our respect and devotion, we call it 'Bhog' / 'prasad' . In any prasad, this Aloor Dom is a must with khichdi and chutney. This recipe is without onion and garlic, that's why I mentioned 'niramish'. During monsoon you can also enjoy this with khichuri, beguni and chutney or in weekend breakfast make some luchi / lachha paratha with this curry. Whenever you arrange your next puja in your home, don't forget to put this item in the menu. I have already posted some other 'dum aloo' recipe. Try this in your kitchen and you will love it.

Heat mustard oil in a pan. Saute the whole spices for few seconds.
