Instant pot Aloo Gobi Curry
Aloo gobi is a popular Indian curry made on the stovetop or in a Pressure cooker. Making it in Instant Pot makes it easier that we don’t have to babysit the curry. In this post, I will give you tips to make this curry as your preferred consistency. The potato cubes and cauliflower florets are cooked in onion tomato masala paste. To make this curry creamy, grind the onion tomato masala along with some cashews.
How to make Aloo Gobi in Instant Pot?
Make the onion tomato masala by sauteing onion, ginger garlic, and roughly chopped tomato. GRing it with some cashews to make the curry creamy. Then saute the bay leaf in the Instant Pot, and add the ground onion tomato paste, and spices. When it is cooked add the cauliflower florets and cubed potatoes. Add the required water and salt. Cook for 12 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally. Then open the lid and add dried methi leaves.
At this time before adding the dried methi leaf,
- If you want to pour consistent curry, do not boil for too long.
- For a thick gravy, boil till you get the right consistency.
- If you don’t like creamy curry, then do not grind the onion-tomato mixture. After sauteing the onion and tomato, add ginger garlic paste and follow the next steps.
