This was so good!
It seemed like 10 min may be too much, so lowered to 8, but should have lowered cooking time to 5-6 max.
The chutney came together with ease, and had a nice consistency to it.
I tossed in some tofu, cubed, to extra protein and texture.
All in all, a nice and different potato salad. Thank you!

In reply to janet. Yes, you cook them in 2 different batches because the potatoes and carrots take longer. So you cook them first, manually release the pressure and then add the cooked chickpeas and pea and cook again for zero minutes. Let me know if I misunderstood your question.

In reply to janet. I'm so sorry the chutney gave you so much trouble. It could be that mine had extra water from rinsing them. I added into the instructions to add additional water if needed. Hopefully, that will solve the issue.

I was frustrated making the chutney. You said to use a food processor and blend til smoother. I used my Cusinart but it didn’t get even close to smooth. So I put it all in my small Ninja 900watt blender and tried again. No luck. The mint/cilantro would spin up and stick to the sides. There was not enough liquid to wash it down to the blades. I would stop it, scrape everything down and repeat, but it didn’t work. Very frustrating. So I used what I had and finished the potato salad. Good taste but I’m not sure I’ll make it again.

In reply to Kathy Hester. Your instructions though say to put the chickpeas and peas in the Instant Pot when the potatoes and carrots are cooked.

Very interesting recipe, i am going to try that soon. Its like making an Dry Indian potato curry and then giving a salad twist to it.

In reply to Sue. I tossed in some pre-cooked chickpeas when I'm mixing all the cooled ingredients together. I've added it in the instructions.

Your photo shows chickpeas in it. Under one of the photos you say it has carrots, peas & chickpeas. BUT you don’t have chickpeas in the ingredients or instructions. Did you just toss in some pre-cooked or canned chickpeas? If so, at what point?
