INSTANT POT LAMB CURRY WITH COCONUT & TOMATOES

Steps:

• Prepare all the ingredients for part 1 and turn the Instant Pot. Press the Saute function key and allow the pot to heat up slightly.

• Finally, add all the spices and salt and stir through the onion mixture to release the aromas. Press Cancel to stop the Sauteing process. The mixture will brown and get pretty sticky and some of it may get stuck to the bottom. Add a little splash of water to the pot and stir through scraping off any stuck mixture from the bottom. This will prevent any burning during pressure cooking.
• Add the lamb and tomatoes and stir through well. Pop the lid and lock, making sure the top valve is pointing to Sealing. Press Manual/Pressure Cook, set to HIGH pressure for 25 minutes. It will take 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to build up the pressure and the timer will commence. Once done, release pressure naturally (should take 15 minutes). In the meantime, prepare ingredients for Part 2.
• Open the lid and stir the curry. Press the Saute function again. Add the carrots and peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes on Saute, stirring frequently. The curry will bubble away, which will thicken the broth.
