Instructions
- In a small blender jar add ginger, garlic, 6 cashews, dalia, poppy seeds, fennel seeds, coconut, green chili, and ¼ cup of water. Blend together to make a smooth paste. Reserve.
- Set the Instant Pot to Saute mode and heat oil. Add cloves, cardamom, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick. Saute for a minute or until aromatic.
- Add onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Place a non-locking glass lid to speed up the process. Add turmeric and tomatoes. Mix well. Turn the Saute mode off. Note - It is important to cancel the saute mode so the spice paste does not stick to the bottom of the pot. The pot is also hot at this point and the remnant heat is enough to cook the spice paste.
- Add the spice paste and mix well deglazing the bottom of the pot. Add all the remaining vegetables, salt, and 1 cup of water. Mix well. Close the Instant Pot with pressure valve to sealing. Set the Instant Pot to Manual/Pressure Cook(Hi) for 1 minute.
- After the pressure cooking cycle is complete quick release by moving the pressure value to Venting. Press Cancel. Open the Instant Pot and give a quick stir. Note that the curry may look watery but will start to thicken in few minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Notes
- Blend the spice paste as smooth as possible
- Finely dice onions and tomatoes so they incorporate in the sauce while pressure cooking.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes in small ½ inch cubes so they cook in 1 minute of pressure cooking.
- Skip ginger and/or garlic if you do not have it on hand or do not eat.
- Make sure to cancel the saute mode after adding the paste. This will prevent the spice paste from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Red chili powder is optional. I love that the mild Kashmiri red chili powder gives this curry a light orange hue without making it too spicy.
