- Add salt as required and 3 tablespoons water. Mix well. Close the pressure cooker tightly with its lid.
- Pressure cook for 2 to 3 whistles on medium heat or till the vegetables become tender.
- Once the pressure drops on its own, then only remove the lid of the cooker.
- If there is any water or moisture in the cooker, then simmer on low heat till all the water is evaporated.
- Check the seasonings and add more salt if required.
- Lastly add coriander leaves and give a gentle stir.
- Serve Aloo Gajar Matar hot or warm with roti or chapati or as a side dish with a North Indian meal.
Notes
- For cooking veggies in a pan: Add about 5 to 6 tablespoons of water and cover the lid tightly and simmer till the veggies are tender. In case the water dries up whilst cooking, then add some hot water and continue to cook.
- Instead of red carrots, you can use orange carrots. But make sure that they are fresh and tender.
