Instant Pot Potato and Green Pea Curry
Ingredients:
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 medium red onion finely chopped
1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
4 medium garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tbsp sweet paprika
1 tbsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp garam masala
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups frozen peas thawed
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
ground black pepper
kosher salt
Directions:
On a 6 quart Instant Pot, select More/High Sauté. Add the oil and onion, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic, then cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the paprika, turmeric, garam masala and cayenne. Pour in 1 1/2 cups water, scraping up any browned bits. Add the potatoes and 1 1/2 tsp salt; stir to combine, then distribute in an even layer. Add the tomatoes with their juice in an even layer on top of the potatoes; do not stir.
Press Cancel, lock the lid in place and move the pressure release valve to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook or Manual; make sure the pressure level is set to High. Set the cooking time for 4 minutes. When pressure cooking is complete, quick-release the steam by moving the pressure valve to Venting. Press Cancel, then carefully open the pot.
Select More/High Sauté and cook, stirring often, until a skewer inserted into the potatoes meets no resistance and the sauce clings lightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Press Cancel to turn off the pot. Using potholders, carefully remove the insert from the housing. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and cilantro, then taste and season with salt and pepper.
