Take out the container.

Heat enough oil in kadahi, when hot put all the potatoes in the oil and fry them on a medium hot till brown all over. Remove and keep aside.

Now grind the ingredients, for the masala to smooth. 

Use same kadahi and remaining oil for making dum aloo.

Heat kadahi, when oil is hot add finely chopped onion, fry till they are little brownish.

Now add cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, turmeric powder and red chilly powder. Stir well.

Then add ground masala and stir well and cook for few minutes, stirring in between. Or till you get aroma. Add about half cup water and salt, cook again. Here you check the salt because you have already added salt to the potatoes.
