Instructions
- Start the instant pot in sauté mode. Heat oil and add panang curry paste. Stir it for a minute.
- Add 1/4 cup of coconut milk. Mix the paste with the coconut milk, and cook for a minute.
- Add chicken pieces and saute for 2 minutes. Now add the remaining coconut milk and Kaffir Lime Leaves. Change the instant pot setting to manual or pressure cook mode at high pressure for 3 minutes with vent in sealing position.

Notes
- Spicy? Start with lesser panang curry paste, 2-3 tablespoons and add more based on your spice preference.
- Veggies: I kept the recipe simple, and just added bell peppers. However you can add broccoli, baby corn, mushrooms, green beans, zucchini or carrots too. Add quick cooking veggies after pressure cooking, and veggies such as carrots, potatoes, and baby corn along with the chicken before pressure cooking.
- Variation: To amp up the flavor even more when using store bought curry paste, you can sauté half a tablespoon of ginger and garlic in oil along with the paste.
- Rice: While you are cooking the curry, don't forget to first also put the jasmine rice to cook. You can also serve thai tofu curry with quinoa or brown rice.
