Pressure Cooker Onion Masala | Indian Onion Masala
If I had known you could make this tedious masala this easily, I could have saved me, my mom, my grandmother and her mother a ton of time in our lives. I can’t believe this pressure cooker onion masala worked so simply, but it did. Onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a chili, combined with spices form the basis for so many different curries, that this will set you up for near-instant Indian food for dinner.
My nifty spice container shows you what you will most likely need if you start to cook Indian food with any frequency. Sure, you could add several more, but these are the basics that will serve you well.
WHAT IS PRESSURE COOKER ONION MASALA?
This humble mixture is the base for many different East Indian dishes and traditionally, it is a labor of love, taking 30-45 mins of standing around and stirring quite frequently. It came together very quickly in the Instant Pot. If you like chana masala, or rajma (red kidney beans), or maybe even different meat curries, this pressure cooker onion masala is the base you will start with. So let me show you how to make this, and you can divide it up and use it for a variety of different dishes.
