PrintAlu Gobi – Curried Cauliflower and Potatoes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 0 r to 6 servings 1x
Description
Pairing cauliflower and potatoes is a very common thing in the Indian kitchen. I personally find cauliflower to be a very adaptable and versatile vegetable. There are variations of this combination all across India, but this particular recipe uses basic spices from the Punjabi pantry. For the dish to work, the cauliflower should be cut in larger pieces and the potatoes in smaller cubes.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola or olive
- oil 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 cup Everyday Masala Paste
- 1 medium cauliflower (cut into)
- large pieces
- 1 medium to large potato
- peeled and cut into eighths
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- powder
- ½ cup frozen green peas
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- page 31 or storebought
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot® on Sauté mode and heat the oil. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle. Add the Everyday Masala Paste, cauliflower, and potatoes and stir well. Add the cayenne pepper powder and 1/4 cup of water.
- Press Cancel to turn off the Sauté mode. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot® on Manual Low Pressure mode for 1 minutes.
