Aloo Chana (Instant Pot)

 If you don't have an Instant Pot, I cannot stress enough how you need to get one! Like a crockpot, you can add the ingredients and walk away, except this is the pressure cooker version. No hovering over the stove making sure the little jiggler is jiggling at the proper speed. I absolutely love my Instant Pot!

Aloo Chana

1 t. cumin seeds

1 onion, diced

Garlic, minced

1 T. minced fresh ginger

1/2 t. cayenne

1/4 t. turmeric

1/8 t. black pepper

1 T. coriander

1/2 t. garam masala

2 tomatoes, chopped

3 c. water

2 potatoes, cubed

2 cans of chickpeas, drained

Saute the cumin seeds, onion, garlic, and ginger until onion starts to soften. Stir often to avoid burning (and getting a burn notice ;) ). Add the cayenne, turmeric, black pepper, coriander, and garam masala, and tomatoes to the pot and stir well. Add the water, potatoes, and chickpeas, and stir well again. Turn off saute mode, place the lid on the IP. Press Manual or Pressure Cook and set the timer for 20 minutes. Let release naturally for 15 minutes, then do a quick release. Serve. Enjoy!
