Now what is Dum cooking the food is kept in a sealed with wheat flour dough. This does not allow the steam to pass. The food gets cooked in its own steam and juices on the slow fire infusing the flavours and aroma of its own herbs and spices in the food. Nutrients are not lost in the process and thus the food id nutritious too...
