Instructions
- Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to saute; add olive oil.
- When oil is warm, add onion, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Saute 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and ginger. Cook 1 minute more.
- Sprinkle chicken with remaining 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1/1/2 teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add to Instant Pot; cook 2 minutes on each side.
- Press Cancel to reset Instant Pot.
- Add cauliflower to Instant Pot; pour in coconut milk.
- Place top on Instant Pot; twist to seal and lock. Turn Steam Release Valve to “sealing.”
- Set Instant Pot to cook at High Pressure for 8 minutes.
- After cooking is complete, manually release the pressure by turning the Steam Release Valve to “venting.”
- Remove lid; shred chicken with 2 forks. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas, lime juice, and yogurt, if desired. Let curry stand 5 minutes.
- Serve curry with rice and naan bread. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
Notes
- This is a fairly mild curry; punch up the heat by adding ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
- I like using chicken thighs for this recipe because they’re extra juicy, but smaller chicken breasts would work well. Cut larger breasts in half so they cook evenly.
- Cut cauliflower into bite-size florets; to save time, use pre-cut florets.
- If cauliflower isn’t on your “Favorite Vegetables” list, use broccoli or 1-inch cubes of sweet potato.
