The spices are:
- Fenugreek seed

What happens if I use Onion and garlic in this recipe?
These make not any difference in this recipe. Personally, I am not adding these ingredients because I prepare this recipe for pure vegetarians. Actually, for the Bengali religion, they can’t eat onion and garlic for any holy day like puja or something. So they need to cook everything without onion and garlic, that’s means pure veg. So this shahi aloo dum is perfect for them of served with puri or Radhaballavi.
