Instant Pot Spinach Potato Curry

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6-7 largePotatoes
  • 1 small box (approx. 5-6 oz or 150g)Spinach
  • 1 large, thinly slicedOnion
  • 2-3 cloves, crushedGarlic
  • 2-3 tbspCooking Oil
  • 1/2 tspMustard Seeds
  • 1/2 tspCumin Seeds
  • 1/2 tspTurmeric Powder
  • to taste (approx. 1 tsp)Salt
  • 4 tbspChickpea Flour (Besan)
  • 1 tbspRed Chili Powder
  • 1 tbspCoriander Powder
  • 1 tbspCumin Powder
  • 1 tspCarom Seeds (Ajwain)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1.Cook Potatoes in Instant Pot

    Pour water into the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Place a trivet inside and then add the whole potatoes. Pressure cook on 'Manual' for 9 minutes (for large potatoes). Once cooking is complete, allow for natural pressure release.

  2. 2.Sauté Aromatics and Spices

    Set a pan on medium flame. Add cooking oil. Once hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them splutter. Then add the thinly sliced large onion, crushed garlic, salt, and turmeric powder. Mix well and cover the pan with a lid. Cook until the onions turn light brown.

  3. 3.Add Cooked Potatoes

    While the onions are cooking, chop the cooked potatoes into cubes (or crumble them). Add the chopped potatoes to the pan with the sautéed onions. Fry for a couple of minutes, stirring gently to coat with the spices.

  4. 4.Incorporate Spinach

    Add the entire small box of triple-washed baby spinach to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for no more than 2 minutes. Cooking longer will cause the spinach to release too much water.

  5. 5.Add Chickpea Flour and Dry Spices

    In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and carom seeds. Sprinkle this powder mixture evenly over the potatoes and spinach in the pan. Mix well. Fry for a couple of minutes without covering the pan. Leave it in the pan for an additional 4-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chickpea flour to cook.

  6. 6.Serve

    Transfer the prepared spinach potato curry to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or store for later.
