In India, for house warming or for wedding, you will be guaranteed to receive many pressure cookers as gifts. I would say, that&#8217;s a very thoughtful gift as it will be put into good use\u00a0most of the days.\u00a0And, this is one of the utensils most Indians pack\u00a0with them when they immigrate to other countries. However, nowadays, I do see pressure cookers being sold at most N-American stores as well.<\/p>\n<p>Pressure cookers are mostly used for cooking chicken\/beef\/lamb curries, stews, soups, haleem, biryani, for cooking beans, chick peas, lentils etc. It only takes 15 to 20 minutes to cook in the pressure cooker.<\/p>\n<p>One of the dishes I love to make in the pressure cooker is beef stew and the beef gets cooked much faster. Into the pressure cooker, I add lots of veggies along with the beef, season them well and add water, let cook for 20- 25 minutes and I&#8217;ll walk away. It cannot get any easier. On busy days or lazy days, this dish rescues me. Without spending\u00a0much time in the kitchen\u00a0I can enjoy a hearty and delicious dinner. This can be served with rice or bread or pasta.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19500 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/beef-stew.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/beef-stew.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/beef-stew-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/pressure-cooker-beef-stew.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Easy Beef Stew- Pressure Cooker Beef Stew Recipe<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">6 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Beef, stew cut- 1 Lb or 1\/2 Kg ( dice it small)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Carrots, diced- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onions, diced- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Potatoes, diced- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mushroom, sliced- 1 pack<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Bay leaves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1 tsp or more<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground cumin- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 1 1\/ 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomato paste- 4 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 2 handfuls<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I used stew cut beef, diced them into small pieces.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a pressure cooker, add all the above mentioned ingredients along with water.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Close the lid, place the whistle and cook over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After 25 minutes, remove the cooker from the heat and let the pressure subside completely.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">[b]Warning: [\/b] Do not open the pressure cooker before the pressure has subsided, it can explode.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Check if the beef has cooked well, if not you could cook for some more time.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">If you want the gravy to be thick, you could add 1 tbsp corn starch dissolved in 1 tbsp cold water..<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cook for a few more minutes till the gravy has thickened.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I didn&#8217;t add the corn starch.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">You could either have this as it is or serve with rice, bread, pasta, pita bread etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.2.2885<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Hearty Beef stew made in a pressure cooker&#8230; One of the appliances that&#8217;s found in most Indian kitchen is pressure cooker.
