Instructions
-
Heat the Oil:
Start by heating a small amount of oil in the Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker, and set the mode to “gravy” for optimal sautéing. -
Add the Whole Spices:
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and crushed cardamom pods. Allow the cumin seeds to crackle, releasing their aroma. This step infuses the oil with an earthy, warm fragrance. -
Sauté the Ginger and Tomatoes:
Next, add the grated ginger and sauté for a few seconds until it releases its fragrance. Follow by adding the pureed tomatoes, stirring them well into the oil. Cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes soften and blend into the mixture. -
Add the Vegetables & Spices:
Add the cubed potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower florets (gobi) into the cooker. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder (haldi), garam masala powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices. -
Add Water:
Pour in about 1/4 cup of water to help the cooking process. Stir everything together to combine the ingredients. -
Pressure Cook:
Lock the lid of the pressure cooker in place and set the timer to 20 minutes. Let the cooker do its magic while the vegetables cook under pressure, absorbing all the fragrant spices. -
Release Pressure and Adjust Seasoning:
Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally. After opening the lid, check the seasoning and adjust with more salt or spices as needed. -
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish the Aloo Gobi Sabzi with freshly chopped coriander leaves (dhania) for a burst of freshness. Serve hot with roti, paratha, or steamed rice for a complete meal.
