Reddit reviews Indian Instant Pot® Cookbook: Traditional Indian Dishes Made Easy and Fast

After trying her butter chicken, her cookbook was pretty much an instant buy on Amazon for around $8. Some other great recipes in there also. They may be all on the website, but I haven't verified.

I recommend this book

If you’re interested in Indian food and instant pot, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

If you like Indian, her cookbook is totally worth the buy.

Here are a few things I've been making regularly in my Instant Pot:

• Hard-boiled eggs: Easy as pie, and they peel perfectly.
  
• Rice: Bar none, the absolute best rice I've ever made. https://thetakeout.com/recipe-how-to-make-rice-in-instant-pot-1831442802
  
• Thai sticky rice. While we're on the subject, it takes 20 minutes instead of two days of hassle. We eat this stuff with peanut sauce, curry, and mangoes with coconut sauce: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-sticky-rice/
  
• Indian food - turns out home cooks have been making Indian food in a pressure cooker for decades. Butter chicken, Biryani, Chana dal, etc. Here's a good cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/Indian-Instant-Pot%C2%AE-Cookbook-Traditional/dp/1939754542
  
• Polenta - piece of cake: cooks in 16 minutes
  
• Chickpeas, beans, lentils - any dried bean. You're cutting a 3 hr process to 45 minutes; lentils take a few minutes

I really love the recipes. I use the box Six Spices, and started really getting into the easier approach to Indian Cooking.

So, for the Indian recipes I got my recipes from Urvashi Pitre's Indian Instant Pot Cookbook. She does beef dishes too (I come from Kerala, we do eat beef, so it's often a rarity to find beef-specific Indian dishes in an Indian cookbook without people getting offended, which is why I like this one so much)

Otherwise, if there's a specific recipe I want to learn how to make with an instant pot, usually just googling "<Recipe/Dish name> Instant Pot" usually ends up giving me something workable, which I can tweak to my tastes.

I'm a fan of SkinnyTaste, but I generally have to quadruple or more her spices/salt. I make her IP Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Bowl recipe regularly.

I've also started dabbling in recipes from Two Sleevers (as in she and her husband both have had vertical sleeve gastrectomies). She's also the writer of Indian Instant Pot Cookbook, which is actually authorized by Instant Pot. I haven't gotten the book yet, but it's on the top of my wish list.

The pressure cooker has saved me so much time over the last couple of years. I live in an area with a big Indian community and can buy pretty much every dried bean imaginable, and the pressure cooker will do beans from dry in about 20-25 minutes, plus the initial heating time to build the pressure.

I've tried a few and this one was the closest to my old timey recipes, but I do come from a mostly Punjabi Indian food background if that makes a difference to you. It's easy enough to start bending the recipes to your tastes once you figure out how the pressure part works. For dal, I'll saute my aromatics and dump them in at the end instead of cooking the hell out of them under pressure.

I love cooking when I’m happy. And basically I’m not working right now so I’m happy lol. And it’s showing, I’m gaining a little extra weight 😕.

I go in spurts and trends. I’ll make something all the time and it’s my new obsession, then I’ll move on to something else because I’m suddenly tired of it.

Creamy tomato soup is one of my favorite easy meals in winter. It’s just one of my favorite meals of all time anyway. Mmm.

Right now I got myself a pressure cooker and I’m kind of obsessed with it. I bought this cookbook and I’m working my way through it. So far every recipe has been amazing. She has a similar philosophy I do. I don’t like things to be overly complicated.

We just had pumpkin alfredo as our traditional Halloween meal, haha. I also always make the rolls for family holidays. I’m trying to create some food traditions, I think those are fun and my family was never very into traditions.

I think my project today is to make apple butter! I love seasonal cooking, so that’s part of why what I cook changes so much all year.

Mixed Indian / American family here. I make an instant pot biryani that both my picky kids like to eat, and it’s an easy recipe. It’s from the Indian Instant Pot Cookbook: Traditional Indian Dishes Made Easy and Fast https://www.amazon.com/dp/1939754542/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0sjYBbP061MRF
