Simple and delicious, that is all there is to say about this Instant Pot Aloo Matar Curry, that is a crowd favorite with adults and kids alike. A great everyday dinner recipe as well as a favorite side for a party spread.

Instant Pot Aloo Matar - Instant Pot Potato and Green Peas Curry

Aloo Matar, along with Aloo Jeera (potatoes with cumin) and Aloo Capsicum (potatoes with green bell peppers) are three dishes that I used to make quite a lot when I started cooking in my mid teens. One reason was that you can rarely go wrong with a potato dish and another was that all of these are ridiculously easy to make and ridiculously tasty too. I loved them then and I love them now, that they are just staples in my menu planning.

Over the years, my love for potatoes have remained the same but I have stepped out of my comfort zone of just simple and easy potato recipes to some like Aloo Methi (Potatoes and Fenugreek), Red Curry Mashed Potatoes, Potato Curry in Coconut Milk and a few others.

This Instant Pot Aloo Matar is the same recipe that I follow to make on the stove top, except, I use Instant Pot here and it kinda keeps the stove clean and I can get dinner ready without baby sitting the curry.
