Notes

  1. Measuring Units used, 1 cup = 240 ml & 1 teaspoon = 5 ml.
  2. Instant Pot Used = 3 quart Luxe
  3. NOTE: Instead of using ginger root & garlic pod you can also use my homemade ginger garlic paste recipe and add it directly to the blender jar while making the masala paste. In that case use 1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste. Do what ever suits you.
  4. All the spice powders are readily available in Indian grocery stores.
  5. If you do not prefer spicy food omit using the green chilies.
  6. You may double the recipe.
