Notes

  • I used this 6 quarts Instant Pot DUO 60 for making this recipe.
  • Cut potatoes into large chunks, smaller pieces gets totally dissolved when you pressure cook them. 
  • I cooked the potatoes for 7 minutes on low pressure for this recipe.  I love when they are  slightly overcooked and thicken the gravy.
  • If you want potatoes to retain their shape pressure cook them on low for 5 minutes. 
  •  If you are planning to serve Aloo Matar sabji with Rice, Add ½ cup more water as the consistency of gravy is slightly thin when you serve it with rice.
  • If you decide to serve it with Naan, chapati or paratha, thicker consistency of gravy works best for that.
