Equipment

  • PRessure cook
  • Wet Blender
  • Chopping Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cauliflower medium head -about 8-10 medium florets
  • 1/2 cup Peas Fresh or frozen
  • 1 potato 50 grams, peeled and cubed
  • 1 Onions large
  • 2 Tomatoes medium
  • 1/2 TBSP Garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp Kasuri Methi optional, but recommended
  • 1 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1 inch cinnamon
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 TBSP Oil any neutral oil or even mustard oil works here
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Shahjeera Caraway seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper whole
  • 1 tsp coriander leaves chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Blend cinnamon, cloves and onion to a smooth paste. Add half the tomatoes and puree again.
  • In a small pressure cooker, add oil, splutter cumin seeds and shahjeera. Add whole black pepper. Now add the cauliflower, potato peas and saute for just a minute or two. Add tomato and saute again. Add turmeric and the ground masala paste. saute till raw smell disappears.
  • Now add 100-120 ml cups of water and pressure cook for just 1 whistle. We need veggies to be cooked but not mushy.
  • Immediately release pressure, add garam masala, kasuri methi and cook for 2 - 4 minutes more.
  • Serve hot garnished with coriander and a dash of lemon juice (optional).

Notes

  1. Use Small size (1 litre) pressure cooker and get only 1 whistle and immediately switch off and release the pressure. Else the veggies will be too mushy.
  2. You can also make this in an open pot. use a thick bottomed one for best results. Cook the veggies till tender but not mushy.
  3. Use fresh / frozen peas here. THe dried + dehydrated peas doesn't work here (and if it does, its a different taste profile).
  4. Use butter or ghee to saute the veggies. I have used just a tsp of oil
  5. Add Green chillies / Chilly powder according to spice preference.
  6. If avoiding / don't eat garlic or onion skip both. The sabji turns out pretty well. I have not used garlic here, if you want, go ahead and add.
