This is a dish from Kannauj that is made frequently at our home on Sundays for a family lunch or brunch. The dubki wale alu is served with puris. I learnt how to make it from my mother and she had learnt it from her mother. My husband loves it too, so I make it quite often. Dubki wale alu gets its name from the fact that it’s a curry that you dunk your kachoris, puris or parathas into. It’s a dish that can be had all year round and has a really simple recipe.
