Share:
Ingredients
- 200 to 225 grams carrots or 2 medium to long red carrots or delhi carrots or 1.5 cups chopped carrots
- 200 to 225 grams potatoes or 3 to 4 medium potatoes or 1.5 cups chopped potatoes
- 1.5 tablespoon oil (can use sunflower oil, peanut oil or mustard oil)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 or 2 green chilies, slit or chopped
- 1 inch ginger - peeled and chopped
- ⅓ cup water
- ½ teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder)
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon garam masala
- salt as required
- 2 to 3 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves (cilantro leaves)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a 2 litre stovetop pressure cooker. Add cumin seeds. On a low heat saute till the cumin seeds splutter.
- Then add green chilies, slit or chopped. Also add peeled and chopped ginger. Stir and saute on low heat till the raw aroma of chopped ginger goes away.
- Then add chopped carrots and chopped potatoes.
- Add ⅓ cup water.
- Season with salt as needed. Stir well and pressure cook for 1 whistle or 6 to 7 minutes on a medium to high heat.
- When the pressure settles down on its own, then only remove the lid. There will be some stock/water in the sabzi.
- Keep the cooker on the stove top without the lid. On a low to medium heat, simmer till all the water dries up.
- Lastly add dry mango powder and garam masala powder. Stir and mix well.
- Then add chopped coriander leaves. Mix again.
- Serve aloo gajar sabzi hot or warm with some soft phulka or paratha. You can also serve it as a side dish with any North Indian meal.
Notes
- The recipe can be scaled to make for more servings.
- You could also add a pinch of asafoetida (hing). But with asafoetida the dish will no longer be gluten-free.
- You can also make this sabji in a pan or pot adding water as needed. Cover the pan with lid and simmer until the veggies are fork tender.
