Instant Pot Curry

This has been my go-to meal prep during quarantine. It’s healthy and makes a lot of food. I have the Instant Pot Ultra which allows me to sous vide the chicken, instructions for which I have included here. If your instant pot does not have the “Ultra” mode, you can of course cook the chicken any way you want; or you can leave it out and make this a veggie curry! But I would not recommend pressure cooking the chicken in the pot with the rest of the vegetables.

Cooking Instructions

2 hrs
  1. 1

    Fill the instant pot half full with water and set to Ultra mode (sous-vide), at 150 degrees for 90 minutes. Once hot, add chicken (plastic-wrapped for sous vide)

  2. 2

    Prep the vegetables and other ingredients while the chicken is cooking

  3. 3

    When chicken is finished cooking, remove from plastic and place on plate before covering with foil. Empty the water from pot and rinse.

  4. 4

    Set pot to Sauté. Once hot, add coconut oil. When coconut oil is melted, add onion, carrot and curry paste. Sauté until onion is translucent.

  5. 5

    Add garlic and ginger and sauté another two minutes before turning off the heat.

  6. 6

    Add sweet potato, squash, honey, fish sauce, vegetable broth and coconut milk. Close lid and pressure cook on High for four minutes.

  7. 7

    After the four minute high pressure cook, ventilate the pot with the quick-release valve.

  8. 8

    When safe, open the pot and add the red peppers. Pressure cook on Low for one minute.

  9. 9

    After the one minute low pressure cook is complete, slow-release pressure by letting the pot sit for ten minutes. This is a good time to chop up the chicken.

  10. 10

    After ten minutes of slow release, ventilate the pot with the quick-release valve. When safe, open pot and add basil, lime juice and chicken and stir to mix evenly.

  11. 11

    Serve over rice! If you want to get really crazy, add a fried egg and sriracha on top of each bowl.
