Instructions
 

  • Peel the Potatoes and rinse them to remove excess starch. Using the tip of a paring knife, carve out 2-3 divots on each Potato, this helps the gravy stick to the Potato, and allows the gravy to flavor the Potato more.
  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté, and add the clarified butter and allow it to heat up.
  • Add the Onion, and sweat for 3-4 minutes, then add Ginger and Garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the Tomato Sauce, along with the spices (Red Chili Pepper Powder, Turmeric Powder, Salt, and Garam Masala), stir to combine all ingredients, cover with a lid, and allow to cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • After 5 minutes, add the potatoes along with 1/2 cup water and pressure cook on HIGH for 8 MINUTES.
  • After 8 minutes when the pressure cooking done, quick release the pressure, and open the lid.
  • Add the Cashew Paste, Fenugreek leaves, and half of the fresh Cilantro and stir. Cook on Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  • After 3-4 minutes, the Dum Aloo should be done.
  • Enjoy immediately with some Naan and Jeera Rice!

Notes

  • Sauté well: Make sure to sauté the onion and tomato base well for maximum flavor.
  • Pressure cook time: 5-6 minutes is usually enough for baby potatoes.
  • Crush Kasoori Methi: Always crush it between your palms before adding—it releases more aroma.
  • Leftovers: The flavors deepen overnight, making it great for meal prep!
