As much as I love Instant Pot and cooking with it in the past few months I absolutely love our trusted pressure cooker. Have made so many gravies, dal, koottu, poriyal using cooker. We can quickly dump everything in the pressure cooker and finish off a dish within few minutes. Have been preparing this Potato Cabbage Masala quite recently and we absolutely love it. If you are someone who is not a fan of that distinct smell from Cabbage then try this dry subzi with Potato. I am sure you will like. I have added the usual dry spice powders (chilli, coriander, & MDH kitchen king masala) however you can add your favorite combo of spices.
This Potato Cabbage masala tastes good as a dry subzi. Don’t add too much water in pressure cooker. Also don’t grate cabbage using a grater. Chop them in knife. When you grate them they will get cooked quickly compared to potatoes and you might end up having uncooked potatoes after 3 whistles. It goes well with Rice, Roti and I had it for lunch with Couscous. It can also be used as a filling in Wraps.
My Lunch looked like this : Lemon Couscous, Potato Cabbage Masala, Spinach Koottu and Raita
The same masala as filling in my Ragi Taco
