  • Press the SAUTE button on the Instant Pot. Once it displays hot, add the oil and then add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Add asafetida, green chili, onion and curry leaves. Curry leaves will sizzle. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until onions soften.
  • Add cabbage and green peas. Saute well. Add turmeric powder, garam masala and salt. Stir to combined everything together.
  • Then add 1-2 tablespoons water. And de-glaze the pot by scrapping the bottom. Make sure there is nothing stuck at the bottom of the pot. Cancel SAUTE.
  • Close the lid and move the Pressure valve to SEALING. Press the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button and select high pressure for 1 minutes.
  • When InstantPot beeps after its done cooking, Quick release the pressure by moving the valve to VENTING.
  • Open the lid and stir everything well. Add lemon juice. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves. Cabbage stir fry is ready !
  • If there's any excess water, you can press SAUTE and cook for extra 2 minutes until it becomes little dry.
  • If you want softer cabbage cook for 2-3 minutes on high pressure.
  • Cabbage releases a lot of water when pressure cooked so add very little water while pressure cooking.
  • ** Instead of pressure cooking, you can do this recipe entirely on SAUTE mode as well. In that case, skip the steps from close lid. Instead use glass lid and saute for 8-10 minutes on medium level stirring frequently. The stir fry comes out dryer and requires no water if you do it this way
