- Peel carrots and potatoes cleanly and chop them into smaller pieces. Then wash them in clear water for 2 to 3 times and set them aside.

- When the cumin seeds start spluttering, add 1/2 tsp coriander seed powder, 1/2 tsp fennel seed powder, and chopped green chili. Stir and saute them.
- Add chopped carrots and potatoes with 1/3 tsp turmeric powder and salt as required.
- Then add 1 tbsp water to it.
- Mix all these ingredients well close the cooker lid and wait until 1 whistle comes and before the second whistles come turn off the flame.
- When pressure comes down naturally open the lid and you see some water is still in the sabji.
