Cauliflower Curry – Instant Pot

One pot dishes are my favorite kind to cook! I love the simplicity of these dishes.And with the inventions of electric pressure cookers, life in the kitchen has become much simpler. You don’t need to babysit and wait for the whistles to blow or keep a count on the number!

I am an avid Instant pot user, I would not mind being called ‘Obsessed’ when it comes to this toy in my kitchen! My traditional pressure cookers have been totally replaced by these and there isn’t a single day that goes by without putting my IP on use.

Here is yet another sumptuous one pot side dish that goes well with any Indian breads.
