30 Instant Pot Vegan Indian Recipes! Dals, Beans, Tikka Masala, Butter Sauce, Chana Masala, Saag, Korma, Aloo Gobi, Kitchari, Gajar Halwa and more. Indian Vegetarian Recipes. Glutenfree Soyfree Nutfree options.
I’ve been posting a lot of Instant Pot Recipes and converting old recipes to Instant pot too! So here’s a running set of recipes that are Indian and Vegan and made in an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Everyday favorites like tikka masala sauce, butter chikin, korma and regional Indian fare like kohlapuri veggies, black eyed pea pulao, masala eggplant and more! Pressure cookers have been used in Indian cooking for many decades, way before Instant Pot. So there are stove top pressure cooker instructions on many of my old recipes and in my cookbook. The same process steps apply to the instant pot. Just add a few mins more to the cooking times for beans and chickpeas based recipes, as stove top pressure cookers cook under higher pressure and hence will cook the food just slightly faster than an Instant Pot.
What are your favorites! For Videos, See my Instant Pot Videos Page here. I’ll be adding more to the blog too, so send me your requests in the comments!All of these recipes have Saucepan options too, instructions are usually in the Notes section.

Although I don’t have an instant pot/pressure cooker, I can easily convert these recipes to a regular stovetop pot (if you haven’t already provided that option). I love your recipes, thank you for sharing them.
BTW, my favorite current recipe of yours is the no-butter soy curls. It’s fabulous. I sub a small amount of sunbutter for the cashews and add extra fenugreek because I’m a fenugreek fan. I’m going to try the stovetop mushroom masala next. 🙂

I was just thinking the same thing ! I could eat like this forever. 30 years vegetarian, and I was JUST diagnosed with IBS, triggered by gluten & dairy, so perfect timing.
