Carrot and Cabbage Curry

-

The other night I decided to try out a vegetarian recipe that I heard of for enchiladas.  This recipe, is part of that one, and the full recipe will be posted at a later date.

However, this filling was amazing all on its own.  It can be eaten right after cooking, when it is cooled off, or even cold.

This alone would make a great dish with quinoa, rice, farrow, or any other grain.

Use a lid to help keep the natural steam as you cook

To start off you will turn the InstaPot on to the sauté mode and set for normal.  I usualy never use the high setting on my IP because it seems to cook too high.



Add the oil, pepper, mustard seed, and cumin seed into the IP when it says "Hot"

While the IP comes to heat cut the cabbage into small pieces and shred the carrots using a cheese grater.  Mix to a consistence of a about half carrots and half cabbage.


Cook for about 2 minutes to toast the spices and char the pepper.  Once the mustard seeds start to pop, add in the carrot and cabbage mixture.  If you are using powdered coriander or cumin, add to the carrot and cabbage mixture.  I prefer powered coriander, but to toast the cumin.



Stir until the cabbage begins to wilt, but is still crunchy.  Once cooked, add the lime juice, salt to taste, and fresh cilantro.  to cook you can use a



Serve as a side or add to a grain to make into a meal.  Can be eaten hot or cold as a salad the next day too.  The entire process took all of 15 minutes, and came out better than I expected.

Would love to hear what you all think or tried with this recipe!

Vegetarian Enchiladas in the InstantPot

This is a quick recipe, that uses 2 of my other recipes.  So you can make the  Carrot and Cabbage Curry one night, and use the leftovers to make these enchilada's the next! Take some of the carrot and cabbage curry, and roll it into a tortilla.  I used corn tortillas, because they are a little better than flour; but they are a little bit brittle, and did tear a little bit. Once you are done rolling the enchiladas, cover with the Roasted Pepper Sauce , and top with cheese. I used a Pot in Pot method.  My set stacks and has a cover, but you can use any pot in pot emoted that you prefer, but be sure to cover.  Remember to add 1 cup of water to the IP before adding the cooking pot. I placed in the IP on the pressure setting for 4 minutes, with the vent closed, and did a quick release.

Aloo Ghobi in the InstantPot

This was the first, well second, thing I cooked in the IP.  The first was a quinoa that I ate with the Aloo Ghobi. Aloo Ghobi is the first curry I learned to cook, and is one of my favorites.  I love the fact that it so simple and when my daughter was younger she would eat it without complaining. Basically you take the spice mixture, and ginger garlic paste, onions, and pepper and sauté in the IP on the normal setting. Once the onions start to become translucent, add the tomatoes, and keep covered.  Stir occasionally until the tomatoes break down and start to form a sauce. Once you come to this step, you need to add1/2 a cup of water, the cut potatoes, and the whole cauliflower into the IP.  Place the lid on, cook on the pressure setting for 3 minutes, valve to sealing, use a quick release. Stir and break up the cauliflower, garnish with cilantro, and add to rice or quinoa and serve!
