I take this dish that you can virtually find in all indian restaurants and make it easier to prepare in your kitchen with the instant pot pressure cooker. This Instant Pot aloo gobi is my new favorite because of its simplicity and flavor from the special indian spices. I agree to be sent email.
When cooked in an Instant Pot, the potatoes and cauliflower become tender while still retaining their shape, and the spices infuse into each bite. Plus, there’s no need to constantly watch the pot as it cooks, making this dish perfect for busy weeknights. Try this simple recipe today, and you will soon see why this dish reigns on top as the go-to recipe among Indian dishes.
Ingredients
Head of cauliflower Potato cubes Tomato paste Onion ginger-garlic paste Spices: turmeric powder, garam masala, Kashmiri chili powder and black pepper. Mustard seeds and cumin seeds
Instructions
Rinse the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks or cubes roughly the same size as the cauliflower florets for even cooking. Set your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Once the pot is hot in about 1-2 minutes, add a tablespoon of oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and sauté until they sputter. Add the diced onions to the pot and sauté until translucent. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for another minute until fragrant. Mix in the tomato paste and a cup of water, cooking it for a minute. Add turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the cauliflower and diced potatoes and mix well to ensure that the vegetables are well-coated with the spices. Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing position. Turn on the manual pressure cook button and set the timer for 2 minutes. As the timer expires, let the pressure release naturally for 3-4 minutes before performing a quick pressure release for any remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid after the quick release, give the aloo gobi a gentle stir to mix everything together while preserving the shape of the vegetables, and serve hot. Enjoy this Instant Pot cauliflower curry recipe as a main dish with Indian flatbread or as a flavorful side.
Variations
You can also add other vegetables like peas or carrots for added color and nutrients. Add some coconut milk for a creamy twist on this classic recipe. You can add garnish with fresh cilantro or kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves) for more flavor.
Serving
Serve over jeera rice, white rice, basmati rice, or pair it with naan bread for a complete meal. Pair it with a curry like a lentil chickpea curry or Gujarati dal for a more filling dish.
