INSTANT POT COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Start the instant pot in Sauté mode and let it heat. Add ghee (or oil), and then add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle for 30 seconds.
• Add onions, ginger and garlic paste. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onions turn golden brown.
• Add tomato puree and spices. Mix and let it sauté for 2-3 minutes. (If your instant pot is prone to burn, then skip this step and add the tomato puree after sautéing the chicken and adding water. Do not stir.)
• Add chicken pieces to the pot. Stir and saute the chicken for about 3-4 minutes. Do not skip this step, as it adds lots of flavor to the curry.
• Add the water and stir. Press cancel and close lid with the vent in sealing position.
• Start the instant pot in Manual or Pressure cook mode on high pressure for 4 minutes.
• When the instant pot beeps, quick release the pressure manually and open the lid.
• Stir in the coconut milk, garam masala and let it simmer on sauté mode for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened (see notes to thicken sauce).
• Stir in the lime juice and garnish with cilantro. Coconut Chicken Curry is ready to be served. Enjoy over basmati rice or with naan.

INSTANT POT COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• On the Instant Pot press on SAUTE and heat the oil. Add the onion and saute until it's translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
• Add the curry powder then stir and cook for a minute.
• Deglaze the pot by adding ½ cup of vegetable or chicken stock, and with a wooden spoon or a heat resistant spatula scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Switch off the saute setting.
• Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and add the rest of the stock. Give everything a good mix.
• Secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting and set the cooking time for 5 minutes at high pressure. The Instant Pot will take around 10 minutes to come to pressure and start cooking. When the cooking program ends, quickly release the steam.
• Carefully open the lid, and press on SAUTE. Add the diced bell pepper, then stir in the coconut milk, and allow the sauce to reduce a little. Serve warm over rice with chopped parsley or cilantro, and a squeeze of a lime.

INSTANT POT THAI COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to your Instant Pot and turn on the saute function. When the olive oil is fragrant, add white onion, red pepper, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Saute for 4-5 minutes. Once the onion turns translucent, add in fresh spinach and saute for an additional 1-2 minutes in order to wilt the spinach. Remove veggies from the Instant Pot and turn off the saute feature.
• Next, add coconut milk, curry paste, ginger, lemongrass, honey, and salt to the Instant Pot and mix. Then, submerge the raw chicken breast. Close the lid and seal your Instant Pot. Turn your Instant Pot to manual > high pressure and set the timer to 8 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for your Instant Pot to build enough pressure to start counting down, but eventually, it will count down from 8 minutes.
• Once the timer goes off, quick-release your Instant Pot by opening the valve. Remove the lid and then remove the 2 chicken breasts and transfer to a plate. Use 2 forks to carefully shred the chicken breast (it will be hot) and then place the chicken back into the Instant Pot.
• Add the sauteed veggies and mix. Finally, add lime juice and mix one more time.
• Serve with white rice and Thai basil.
