Saute until oil begins to separate from the masala.

Add potatoes and peas. Saute for 2 mins.

Add water just enough to cover the potatoes. Cook covered on a low to medium heat.

Stir in between a few times, cook until the potatoes turn soft. You can adjust the consistency by adding more water as needed.

How to make aloo matar

Chop the potatoes to 1 inch pieces. Press saute button on the instant pot and pour oil to the steel insert.

When the oil turns hot, add cumin seeds. As soon as they begin to splutter, add chopped onions and saute until light golden.

Then stir in the ginger garlic and saute for 30 to 60 seconds. Then add tomato puree and mix well.

Add all the spice powders - red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder and salt.

Saute for a few minutes until the masala smells aromatic. (For a more authentic version you may saute this till the masala turns thick and aromatic. For this you have to switch over to saute low and saute.)

Then pour 1 cup of water for 2 cups of cubed potatoes. After pouring water scrape the bottom of the steel insert with a spatula to deglaze. Add peas. (If using frozen peas that are too tender, add them later once the curry is done. Simmer for a few minutes.)

Secure the Instant pot lid with the steam release handle set to sealing.

Press pressure cook button (high pressure) &amp; set the timer to 4 minutes. When the IP is done, do a quick release by moving the steam release valve from sealing to venting.

Add kasuri methi. Stir and taste test. Add more garam masala and salt if you prefer. For a thicker consistency you can also cook it on a saute mode for 1 minute.

Garnish aloo matar with coriander leaves. Serve aloo matar with rice or roti.

Aloo Matar Recipe | Punjabi Aloo Mutter

onions

ginger (or 1 inch ginger)

garlic (or 3 to 4 small to medium garlic)

oil (- any neutral oil)

cumin seeds

heavy cream almond

potatoes (or 3 medium or 2 large potatoes - peeled and diced)

green peas (- fresh or frozen)

red chili powder (or cayenne pepper, add as required)

turmeric powder ((ground turmeric))

½ teaspoon Garam Masala (or as required)

water (or add as required)

coriander leaves

salt (as required)

Take chopped onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic in a grinder or blender jar.

Without adding any water, grind or blend to a smooth paste.&nbsp;

Keep this ground paste aside.

Heat oil in a pot or pressure cooker. Keep the heat to a low. First crackle the cumin seeds.

Then add the ground onion-tomato paste. Be careful as the paste splutters when you add it to the oil.

Stir and then add the malai (which is a thick layer of cream that is formed on the top of whole milk when it is boiled and later cooled). Swap it with almond powder or cashew powder or heavy cream. You can choose to skip cream altogether.

Saute the ground paste till the oil releases from the sides. The masala paste will also thicken, become glossy and will come together.

The mixture splutters initially. So do cover partly with a lid. Once the mixture stops spluttering, then remove the lid and saute.

Once the paste has been sauteed well then add the asafoetida powder, red chilli powder and turmeric powder.

Stir and then add the peas and potatoes. Saute for a minute. Add water and salt as required.

Stir well and cover the pot. Simmer till the potatoes and peas are cooked tender for about 20 to 30 minutes. You can alter the consistency of the curry by adding less or more water.

If using a stove-top pressure cooker add 1 cup water and pressure cook for 7 to 8 minutes on medium-heat until the potatoes &amp; peas are cooked completely.

If making in the Instant Pot first fry the spices and sauté the onion-tomato paste. Then pressure cook for 5 minutes on high after you add the peas, potatoes, salt and water.

Lastly sprinkle garam masala powder and stir.

Then add chopped coriander leaves.

Stir well and serve aloo matar hot with poori, chapati, naan, paratha or steamed rice.
