The next recipe using the onion tomato masala is this aloo baingan. Do you guys like eggplant? I have always liked it but I know a lot of people who do not enjoy it. Sarvesh likes it only in bharta form. By the way you guys should totally check out my baingan bharta recipe, it’s my favorite and so good. I personally love eggplant in every form. Whether it’s made the Indian way or in Eggplant Parm or Borani Banjan, I like them all! What’s your favorite way to eat eggplant? I would love to know. As a kid, I ate eggplant only in 2 basic ways- one in bharta and one was this aloo baingan. At my home, aloo baingan always had a tempering of panch phoran. What exactly in panch phoran? It’s an Indian five spice blend which is used a lot in Eastern India. The spice mix has cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, nigella seeds and fenugreek seeds. I have used panch phoran in this recipe but if you don’t have it, simply use cumin seeds in place. It will work fine. This instant pot aloo baingan recipe is incredibly easy to make. I used my frozen onion tomato masala and after that I only had to add the veggies and let the pot do it’s thing. I also added just a bit of garam masala and salt but always be careful since the frozen masala already has spices and salt in it so you only have to add little while making the dish.
Instant Pot Aloo Baingan
✓ vegan and gluten-free ✓ gets done is 20 minutes! ✓ easy one-pot meal for busy days ✓ simple & easy I know you guys like easy recipes and I love them too. That’s why I thought of sharing super easy recipes with you guys this year. Having frozen onion tomato masala in your freezer would make your life so easy. Just trust me on that. If you have no time to cook from scratch every day, just make a big batch of this masala over the weekend and freeze it. That way with the help of your Instant Pot, you can have fresh meals with in minutes over the weekdays! With the Instant Pot, you always have to be careful about the way you chop your veggies else they can turn mush. How to make sure your aloo (potato) and baingan (eggplant) don’t turn it into a mush in this recipe? Make sure to chop them big. If you fine chop them, it will all turn mush. I really hate it when veggies turn mush in the IP. So make sure you chop them into big – 1 to 1.5 inch pieces for this recipe. Hope you guys are enjoying these easy recipes and they are helpful to you. I would love to hear your feedback!
Method
1- Press the saute button on the Instant Pot. Once it displays hot, add oil to the pot and then the panch phoran mix. Let the seeds sizzle & splutter (especially mustard seeds) for few seconds. If you don’t have panch phoran, just use 1 teaspoon cumin seeds. 2- Then add the onion tomato masala (I used frozen straight from the freezer) and 1/2 cup water. 3- Add the potato, eggplant, cilantro, salt and garam masala in that order. Do not stir. Close the pot with its lid. Press the manual or pressure cook button and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Do a quick pressure release by moving the valve from sealing to venting position. 4- Open the pot, using a spoon stir the potato and eggplant with all the spices until combined. Add in lemon juice and mix.
Garnish instant pot aloo baingan with more cilantro and serve with roti, rice or paratha!
