2).  Heat oil in a pressure cooker, add cumin, bay leaf, cinnamon and hing, saute till you get the aroma. Then add the grounded paste along with required salt and let it cook. 

3). Let the masala cook until the raw smell goes and oil separates. 

4). Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and give it a good stir for 30 seconds.   Then add a cup of water along with chopped vegetables. Adjust water quantity as per your liking gravy consistency.

5). Combine everything together and close the lid.  Let it cook for 1 whistle till the veggies become tender. Open the lid, add the kasoori methi and amchur powder. Don't miss these two, it adds more flavor to the curry. Mix and let it cook for a minute or two and switch off !

 Aloo Gobi Masala is ready. Serve this delicious gravy with chapathi or pulao varieties. I served it with Beetroot Chapathi.

Notes :-
----------
# Green peas is optional, I have added to make the gravy look colorful. 
# Do not leave it in cooker for more whistles. Veggies will become mushy, veggies should cook tender and hold their shape. 
# You can cook the veggies separately and add it to the gravy. But cooking the veggies in the gravy adds more flavor.
