Instructions

Using the saute function, warm butter and coconut oil on high in an Instant Pot. When it’s hot, stir in onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly golden (12 to 15 minutes). Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, then add coriander, cumin, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon and red chile flakes. Cook spices, stirring frequently, until aromatic (1 to 2 minutes).

Season to taste with salt.
To serve, ladle curry into a bowl over rice, then top with yogurt, cilantro, toasted coconut flakes and a squeeze of lime.
