  • Add potatoes, tomatoes, ginger, green chili. Add coriander powder, red chili powder, dry mango powder, salt to taste. Mix well. Saute for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Turn off Instant Pot. Close the IP lid.
  • Turn on Manual/Pressure cook mode (high), "0" minutes, vent sealed.
    Note: "ZERO" minutes is NOT a typo! Please check recipe notes for details!!
  • When Instant Pot beeps, quick release pressure manually. Open the IP lid.
  • Add garam masala, mix gently.
  • Aloo gobi is ready to be served. Garnish with some fresh cilantro. Enjoy!!

Stovetop Pressure Cooker Aloo Gobi

  • For stove top pressure cooker, follow the same instructions as discussed in the recipe. After the first whistle, turn off the heat. Followed by quick release pressure manually. Open the pressure cooker. Rest of the steps remain the same as Instant Pot.

Notes

  1. Please refer to the post for the following:

    • Tips for perfect Aloo Gobi in Instant Pot
    • How to store Instant Pot Aloo Gobi
    • How to serve Instant Pot Aloo Gobi
  2. Adjust the spiciness as per taste. Reduce red chili powder or garam masala for milder flavor.
  3. Tomato adds flavor and required moisture to cook cauliflower and potato without any additional water. You may add 1-2 tablespoons of water instead of tomato.
  4. Lemon juice may be used instead of dry mango powder. If using lemon juice, add it at the end, once the cauliflower is cooked.
  5. Onion and garlic may be added. If adding onion and garlic to the recipe, add it before adding cauliflower and saute for a min or so.
  6. The actual cooking time depends on the time it takes to build up pressure in the Instant Pot plus the time set using cooking mode. It takes around 5-7 minutes to build up pressure. That means cauliflower has been cooking for these 5 minutes. So after 5 minutes of pressure build-up, it goes to Manual/Pressure cook mode, which is set to "zero" minutes and stops from further cooking.
