Start the instant pot in SAUTE mode and heat oil in it. Add cumin seeds and green chili. Saute for 30 seconds.
Add diced onions, ginger and garlic paste. Stir them.
Add chopped tomatoes and all spices. Add potato cubes and stir it all up. Saute for 2 minutes, so the potatoes are slightly cooked.
Add cauliflower florets and stir well. Scrape off anything stuck to the bottom of the pot. If needed, add 3 tablespoons water to deglaze the pot. Press Cancel and close the instant pot lid.
Set the instant pot to MANUAL or pressure cook mode at low pressure for 2 minutes. It will take 8-10 minutes for the instant pot to come to pressure.
When the instant pot beeps, quick release the pressure manually.
Add the dry mango powder and garnish with cilantro. Aloo Gobi is ready to be served.
