Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cauliflower cut into 2” florets
  • 2 medium potatoes cut into 2” pieces
  • ½ cup peas
  • 3 Tbsp ghee or oil
  • 2 medium onions finely chopped
  • ½ cup yogurt whisked
  • 2 cups tomatoes pureed
  • 2 green chilies
  • 1 Tbsp dhana jeeru
  • 1 tsp kashmiri chili powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ Tbsp kasoori methi dried fenugreek leaves
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Lemon juice

Instructions

  • Set the Instant Pot to saute mode. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of ghee or oil. Saute cauliflower florets until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat another 1/2 tablespoon of ghee. Sautee the potatoes until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining ghee. Add cumin seeds, and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Then add the onions. Cook until the onions are softened.
  • Add the ginger-garlic paste. Cook for about a minute until the paste is golden.
  • Add turmeric, garam masala, dhana jeeru, and chili powder. Stir and cook for about 10 seconds to let the spices bloom.
  • Add the tomato puree and deglaze, scraping up any bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook until the liquid is reduced by half and oil floats on top.
  • Add the whisked yogurt. Stir and reduce until thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and cauliflower. Stir until well-coated with the sauce. Add peas, green chilies, salt, and water. Stir.
  • Pressure cook on high pressure for 7 minutes, followed by natural pressure release for 10 minutes, and remove the lid.
  • Add kasoori methi, cilantro, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and serve.
