Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1 medium Onion finely chopped
  • 1 Green Chilli
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
  • 1 medium Tomato finely chopped
  • 2 medium Potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 cups Cauliflower Florets
  • Salt as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • ½ tablespoon Red Chilli Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
  • 3 tablespoon Water
  • 1 tablespoon Coriander Leaves

Instructions
 

  • Start by turning your Instant Pot to Sauté mode and heating the oil. Add cumin seeds and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Add onions and green chilli and saute for a couple of minutes. Then, mix in ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and cook till it turns slightly mushy.
  • Add the salt and spice powders (turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder). Mix well.
  • Add the potatoes and cauliflower florets, mixing well.
  • Add water. Close the pot with the Instant Pot lid, set the pressure valve to sealing, and pressure cook for 2 minutes. Once done, perform a Quick Release by turning the valve to the venting position.
  • Gently stir the Aloo Gobi and garnish with cilantro. Serve the easy aloo gobi recipe made in Instant Pot with hot roti, paratha or rice.

Notes

  • Cut the cauliflower into medium to big florets for a perfect texture. This ensures they cook evenly without becoming mushy.
  • Slice the potatoes into medium cubes and make sure they are even to ensure they cook through in the short pressure cooking time.
  • Feel free to adjust the spice levels to suit your taste.
  • To prevent overcooking, release the pressure quickly as soon as the cooking time is up.
