How was your Thanksgiving guys? I can’t believe the long weekend that I was so looking forward to is already over. I did a lot of shopping on black friday this year – bags, shoes, jackets you name it!

We didn’t really plan on shopping anything but it just happened and honestly we had fun. Rest of the weekend, we spent cleaning the house and just donating a bunch of stuff.

Now back to the grind and simple, healthy recipes. This Instant Pot Aloo Gobi is one of my favorite recipes from my cookbook.

It takes little time to put together and is such a comforting dish. Honestly, this recipe was the one that took me most number of trails to get it correct for my book.

Best Aloo Gobi Recipe

Now, you may wonder why because my stove-top aloo gobi is one of the most popular recipes on the blog and I make it all the time so the Instant Pot version should be just as easy for me. Right?

But it wasn’t! Every time I made it, the cauliflower turned into a mush. Sometimes there was too much water, other times I just pressure cooked it for a very long time.

So after lot of trials, I finally landed up with this recipe which in my opinion makes the perfect aloo gobi in the Instant Pot.

Aloo Gobi Recipe (indian Spiced Potatoes & Cauliflower)

The process is pretty basic- you start with sauteing onion and tomatoes and then add the potatoes, cauliflower along with some basic Indian spices and pressure cook it.

Like, I mentioned above, every time I made aloo gobi in the IP, it just turned mush. So how did I come up with the right recipe for my cookbook?

✓ Do not add a ton of water. The more water you add, the more time the pot takes to come to pressure > the more pressure cooked the veggies get> turn mush

If you feel same as me, then you would love this instant pot aloo gobi. Because though it gets pressure cooked, the veggies retain their texture!

There should be no burnt bits at the bottom of the pot. If there are, it won’t come to pressure since we are not adding ton of water here.

. So don’t try to open the pot to check what’s going on if it doesn’t come to pressure. Wait for 8 to 10 minutes for the pot to come to pressure.

If it doesn’t come to pressure even after that time or shows Burn message, open the pot, add couple of tablespoons more water and try again.

Some people have had problems while making this dish in 8qt and the newer IP models. These models are prone to giving BURN messages.

So if you have a 8 qt, add extra 1/4 cup water. It has a bigger surface area and thus might need more water.

I have not tested this recipe in a 8qt so I really can’t comment how much more water it would need. But I would say go with extra 1/4 cup.

This Instant Pot Aloo Gobi Recipe makes a simple and delicious meal, just like how it was made in my home in India. I love to eat it with warm rotis!

1- Press the saute button on the Instant Pot. Once it displays hot, add oil to the pot and then add the cumin seeds. Let the seeds sizzle for few seconds.

2- Then add the chopped onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute.

4- Then add in all the spices – coriander powder, turmeric powder, amchur (dried mango powder), red chili powder, garam masala and salt and mix. Cook the spices for 30 seconds.

5- Stir in the diced potatoes along with 2 tablespoons water. Cover the pot with a glass lid and let the potatoes cook for around 3 minutes. You may stir them once in between.

6- Remove the glass lid and add around 3 to 4 tablespoons water to the pot and deglaze it. There shouldn’t be any burnt bits at the bottom of the pot. Place the cauliflower florets on top and then sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Do not stir.

7- Close the pot with its lid and press the manual or pressure cook button. Use the adjust or pressure level button to set pressure to “low”. Cook on low pressure for 3 minutes, with the pressure valve in the sealing position.

The pot takes around 8 to 10 minutes to come to pressure so be patient. Do not try to open the pot in between and check if it has come to pressure or not – it will!

8- Do a quick pressure release. Open the pot and with a spoon gently mix the cauliflower with rest of the masala and the potatoes.

1. In case the pot doesn't come to pressure even after 8-10 minutes, just add a couple of tablespoons of more water and make sure the pot is deglazed and there was no burnt bits at the bottom.

2. Do not add too much water or the aloo gobi will turn very watery. The tomatoes also release water when pressure cooked, so you don't need a lot of water for this recipe. 

4. Some people have had problems while making this dish in 8qt and the newer IP models. They are prone to giving the BURN message. So if you have a 8 qt or a newer IP model, add extra 1/4 cup water. It has a bigger surface area and thus might need more water.

Easy Aloo Gobi

Whether it’s your favorite Indian takeout or the regular lentils and beans, these 75 new recipes will show you how easy it is to cook your favorite Indian meal in the Instant Pot.Perfect Punjabi-styleAloo Gobi from your pressure cooker or Instant Pot. Make this classic Indian vegan restaurant dish at home in minutes, without a lot of fuss.

Aloo gobiis a pretty standard dish at most Indian restaurants, but it's actually quite a staple for home cooking as well. I wanted to make this in an Instant Pot so that I didn't have to stand and babysit it.

The problem is that you need the potatoes and cauliflower to cook at the same time. My first attempt was tasty but a complete textural disaster.

Slow Cooker Aloo Gobi Recipe

So this time, I did the obvious thing: cut the potatoes into thin slices so that they'd cook as quickly as the cauliflower did, but I also sautéd them in the pot a little longer, not only to pre-cook them but to also get some of the dark fonds into the final product.

In the picture below, you see some green things and I'm sure you're wondering what that those are. Well, in India, the stalks around the cauliflower are considered yummy eating. They are called danthal.

So what you do is you take the outer stalks off, strip them of their leaves, and then cut them up into pieces.

I cooked this on low pressure which not all Instant Pots have. If yours doesn't have a low-pressure setting, try setting it for 0 mins pressure and doing a quick pressure release.

One of the many reasons I adore this Aloo Gobi recipe is because of how low it is in calories. This recipe only has 84 calories per serving.

Aloo Gobi can also be modified to fit a low carb diet. Simply remove the aloo and just enjoy the gobi with all of the delicious spices!
