• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

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.

INSTANT POT COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY (ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• Prep. Cut chicken into 1 to 2-inch pieces and finely chop the ginger and garlic.
• Saute. Saute garlic and ginger in a little oil on Saute setting for a minute, then add the chicken and stir for 30 seconds. Add salt, sugar and curry powder and stir. Cancel the Saute setting.
• Add about a cup of water (we added 2/3 cup as we knew that chicken would release quite a bit of juice while cooking). Stir through.
• Pressure cook. Set to Pressure Cook on High pressure for 15 minutes, with natural pressure release.
• Finish the curry. Open the lid and stir the curry. Stir in the coconut cream and taste for salt and sweetness. You can add a little more sugar or salt to balance the flavors.
• How to thicken the curry sauce if it seems a little thin:
• You can scoop out half a cup of broth to reduce the liquid.
• You can thicken the broth with a little flour. If you want to have more sauce, do the flour trick. Combine 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour with 4 tablespoons of water or broth from the pot in a separate bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir this slurry mixture into the hot curry and see the liquid magically thicken.

• Meanwhile, slice the cucumbers and finely chop the Fresno chile (remove seeds for less heat). Toss the cucumbers and chile with the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and 3/4 teaspoon sugar in a medium bowl. Season generously with salt and let marinate while you finish the dish.
• Cook the rice as the label directs.
