Equipment

Instant pot

Ingredients

4 Cups shredded or finely chopped cabbage
⅓ Cup cup green peas
3-4 slit green chilies
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoon Indian curry paste (or 1/ cup chopped onions+ ½ cup tomatoes+ 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste sautéed in cumin before adding cabbage)
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon hot curry powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garam masala and a pinch of cinnamon
cilantro and lime juice to garnish
¼ Cup Sliced onions
½ Cup Chopped tomatoes

Instructions

Set the instant pot to the sauté mode.
When the digital display indicates hot, add the cooking oil and cumin seeds.
Once the seeds splutter, add onions, sauté for a minute and followed by the spices (except garam masala and cinnamon) and cabbage.
Mix really well.
Add curry paste, tomatoes, salt and green peas. Give a good mix.
Secure the lid and set the instant pot into pressure cooking mode for 0-minute.
The water released from cabbage will help the instant pot to build pressure.
Once the cooking time is up, wait for 5 minutes and release the excess pressure.
Now open the lid and set the instant pot into sauté mode again.
Add garam masala and cinnamon, and sauté cabbage till water dries out.
Garnish with cilantro and lime juice. Serve hot.

Notes

If you don’t have pre-made curry paste, add 1 teaspoon of ginger garlic paste, ¾ cup chopped onions and ½ cup chopped tomatoes to the oil after cumin splutters.
Allow the mixture to cook and become mushy before adding cabbage, spices and peas.
Proceed to pressure cook and follow rest of the steps as mentioned.
