Kashmiri Dum aloo  is one of my favorite gravy. Its easy to make and it gives you royal taste too. First time I had it at Ginger hotel and loved it,and tried at home but with little variation.

Serve hot with roti,naan but I enjoyed with Tandoori Roti.

Note
Do not cook for long time after adding cream because it curdles if cooked more.
If gravy is too thick can add little hot water to get proper consistency.
Can avoid maithi but it gives nice flavor and aroma.
You Can use paneer instead of potato.
