0.75 teaspoon Sobhna's Garam Masala

Freshly chopped coriander (optional)
Method
​
-
Wash and prepare your vegetables: dice carrots, peel onions and potatoes and roughly shred cabbage. Slice the potatoes and onions half way in vertically so they can be stuffed with the curry paste.
-
Start your instant pot on sauté mode for 10 minutes and add oil.
-
Once oil heated up add roasted cumin, asafoetida, curry leaves, cardamom, green chilli, ginger and garlic and stir for 2 minutes before adding cashews or peanuts.
-
Stir in desiccated coconut, kastoori methi and remaining curry paste. Add a quarter cup of water at this stage so that the curry paste does not burn or stick to the pot base.
-
Add cabbage, followed by remaining vegetables plus salt to taste. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
-
Stir in washed rice and 2.5 cups of hot water plus half a lemon. Mix the rice, spices and vegetables together before placing on lid and putting on pressure cooker mode for 5 minutes.
-
Once cooked, sprinkle on garam masala and serve with raita. Enjoy!
