Instructions
-
Heat the Oil:
Begin by heating a small amount of sunflower oil in the Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker. Select the “Gravy” setting to preheat the cooker. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds, grated ginger, and cardamom pods. Allow the cumin seeds to crackle and release their aromatic fragrance, which will take about 30 seconds. -
Prepare the Vegetables:
Add the pureed tomatoes to the cooker and sauté for a few minutes until the tomato mixture begins to soften and lose its raw smell. Next, add the cubed potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower florets (gobi) to the cooker. Stir gently to combine with the tomato mixture. -
Add the Spices:
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder (haldi), garam masala powder, red chilli powder, and salt. Stir everything together to ensure the vegetables are coated evenly with the spices. Add approximately 1/4 cup of water to help the vegetables cook properly under pressure. -
Pressure Cook:
Lock the lid in place and set the timer for 20 minutes. The Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker will take care of the rest. Once the cooking time is complete, you will hear a beep indicating that the dish is ready. -
Release the Pressure:
Allow the pressure to release naturally. This will help retain the flavors and keep the vegetables tender. Once the pressure has released, carefully open the lid and check the salt and seasoning, adjusting to your taste if necessary. -
Serve:
Transfer the Aloo Gobi Sabzi to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander (dhania) leaves for added freshness and color. Serve the sabzi warm with a side of traditional Punjabi Kadhi with Methi (fenugreek) and Chawal (rice) for a wholesome and satisfying meal.
Tips for Perfect Aloo Gobi Sabzi:
- Consistency: If you prefer a slightly drier sabzi, reduce the amount of water added. If you like a saucier version, feel free to add a bit more water.
- Spice Adjustments: The spice level can be adjusted according to personal preference. If you prefer more heat, increase the amount of red chili powder or add a chopped green chili when sautéing the ginger and cumin seeds.
- Adding Vegetables: For added flavor and nutrition, consider adding peas or carrots to the mix.
- Serving Suggestions: Aloo Gobi Sabzi pairs perfectly with Indian flatbreads like roti, paratha, or even naan. It also goes wonderfully with steamed basmati rice.
