Instant Pot Chana Saag - Chickpea Spinach Curry
  1. Drain the soaked chickpeas, wash well, drain and set aside.

  2. Press Saute on the Instant pot. Let the pot get hot for 2 mins. Add oil and spread using a spatula.

  3. Meanwhile, mince and mix together or process the onion, ginger, garlic and hot chile. Add to the hot oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. Add the spices (cumin, garam masala, paprika, coriander) and mix in. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Mash the larger pieces.

  5. Add washed and drained chickpeas, salt and water. Close the lid and put the knob on sealing.

  6. Pressure Cook for 25 to 30 minutes. I usually cook for 30 minutes to be on the safe side as older chickpeas take a bit longer to cook.

  7. Quick release after 10 mins. Press saute. Fold in the greens and non dairy milk. Taste and adjust salt. Cook for 2 to 4 mins to wilt the greens.

  8. Add cayenne and lemon juice and mix in. Serve hot over rice or with roti or naan.
