Instructions

  1. Add oil to the Instant pot insert and heat using the sauté function. Add chopped onions and cook for several minutes until tender and translucent.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute, stirring to prevent burning.
  3. Immediately deglaze the Instant Pot insert with water and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the insert with a wooden spoon.
  4. Add the cumin, coriander and garam masala to the onion mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chickpeas, stirring to combine with the aromatics.
  6. Place the lid on, turn valve to sealing, and set to cook at manual pressure / high pressure for 15 minutes.
  7. When done, perform a quick pressure release. Serve the chana masala with rice and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Prep all of your ingredients before you begin sauteing the aromatics because this vegan Chana masala recipe in instant pot moves quickly. 
  • Deglaze the pan well and scrape with a wooded spoon to prevent a burn error while cooking at pressure. 
  • For authentic chana masala, use a chana masala spice blend. 
  • Recipe times do not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come to temperature.
