Instant Pot Achari Aloo is a simple, flavorful and tangy potato dish. Potatoes are pressure cooked with dry Indian spices making them flavorful by evenly coating each piece. This is an easy to make recipe ready in just under 10 minutes!

Weekends are relaxing and as well busy for us. Saturday’s are a bit more relaxing for us. On Sunday’s I cook for the week ahead. This, as you know, needs better planning and execution. It sounds simple, but this activity always makes me anxious and tired. Why? As I always tend to hurry up on finishing my cooking with my eyes set on the kitchen clock.

This past weekend when daylight savings made us one hour ahead. Which as you may guess means, I get one hour less. I was in a rush to finish my weekly cooking and got my left hand badly burned. I was in immense pain, as well upset with myself for always trying to hurry up. So lesson learnt, stay calm and try not to compete with the clock. As in this race with time, I will always loose.

Now back to this recipe, since I had only one hand functional. I had to make easy and quick lunch. I usually make achari aloo on the stove top. This is an easy to cook, flavorful recipe but the only issue is after its cooked I am at my wits end scrubbing the pan. With so much pain I was sure I would not be able to make it on the stove top.

I tweaked my stove top version of the recipe into Instant Pot Achari Aloo. Making this recipe in Instant Pot was like a breeze. The overall cook time was less than 10 minutes if you have boiled potatoes at hand. The dish came out delicious, with potatoes evenly coated with spices. And the best of all I did not have any pot to scrub, as cleaning the pot was so easy!

My family loved my version of Instant Pot Achari Aloo. I served this with Spinach paratha. pickle and raita. Enjoy this easy lunch recipe.
