Ingredients

  • 5-6 small potatoes 1-2 inches in diameter, peeled and cut into 1 cm thick cubes
  • 750 gram carrots peeled and cut into 1 cm thick pieces
  • 250 gram peas frozen or fresh, shelled
  • 2 tbsp ghee clarified butter or oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 5-6 garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 inch ginger peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 green chillies finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion 2-3 inch in diameter, finely chopped
  • 3-4 green onions with stems chopped
  • 1 large tomato 3-4 inches, chopped,
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1-2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tbsp yogurt
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • Handful of fresh coriander chopped

Instructions

Make Tadka

  • Set a pressure cooker on high heat and add ghee. Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and immediately afterwards add garlic and sauté for few seconds.
  • Add ginger and green chillies and sauté for few seconds
  • Add onions and sauté 1-2 minutes.
  • Add green onions and half of green coriander leaves, sauté 2-3 minutes.
  • Push tadka to one side of the pan and add 1 tsp of oil. Add the turmeric to the collected oil and cook for few seconds. Then mix everything together.
  • Sauté for another 1-2 minute and add red chilli powder and immediately afterwards add yogurt.

Cook Vegetables

  • Add carrots, potatoes, peas, tomatoes and salt to the tadka.
  • Mix everything together and close the pressure cooker.
  • If you haven't washed the vegetables before cooking and the vegetables are dry, add 1/4 cup of water just before closing the pressure cooker. This will make sure that sabji doesn't stick to the bottom of the pressure cooker. (optional)
  • Turn off the heat after one pressure (one whistle).
  • Immediately afterwards, put the pressure cooker under running water and open it. If the sabji is still not fully cooked, cook without closing the pressure cooker for another 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are fully cooked.
  • Mix in the garam masala and the remaining coriander.
  • Serve hot with a dollop of fresh home-made butter.
