Now cancel sauté mode and add 1/2cup water, close the pot lid and pressure cook for 12 minutes. Wait for the knob to come down then open the lid and check if its done. If there is water in sabzi then on the sauté mode and dry water we like little runny so I sautéed for 5 minutes. Sprinkle green chopped dhania (coriander)and add lemon juice while serving.
