Instructions
Instant Pot Method
- Start the instant pot in Saute mode and heat oil in it. Add onions, ginger, garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add 1/4 can of the coconut milk. Mix in the red curry paste. Add salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and stir.
- Add in the pumpkin cubes. Press cancel and close lid with vent in sealing position.
- Start in Manual or Pressure cook mode for 2 mins at high pressure. When the cooking time is done, quick release the pressure manually.
- Open lid and change setting to sauté mode. Add remaining coconut milk, red peppers, broccoli, cashews and lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn off.
- Garnish with cilantro or basil leaves. Serve with jasmine rice.
Stovetop Method
- Heat a Dutch oven or large pan on medium-high heat and add oil. Then add onions, ginger, and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the can of coconut milk. Mix in the red curry paste. Add salt, sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar, and stir.
- Add in the pumpkin cubes. Bring to a simmer on medium heat. Then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the pumpkin is almost tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the sliced red peppers, broccoli, cashews, kaffir lime leaves, and lemon juice. You can add water if needed to adjust the consistency of the curry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn off.
- Garnish with cilantro or basil leaves. Serve with jasmine rice.
Notes
- Do not overcook: If this curry is overcooked, the veggies will completely break down and become pureed. Make sure to follow the suggested cooking times.
- Add greens: You can add greens such as kale or spinach to this curry. I recommend stirring them in after the curry is almost cooked.
- Add heat: Add some Thai chili or serrano peppers along with the onions to add heat to this curry.
- Created: This recipe was created in a 6qt Instant Pot DUO60 Multi-use Programmable Pressure Cooker.
- Note: If doubling or tripling the recipe, add the amount of coconut milk proportionally before pressure cooking and add 1/4 cup of water.
