Ingredients
1TbspCoconut oil
1/2Large red pepper, roughly chopped
115oz CanPetite diced tomatoes,very well drained *
1CupFull-fat coconut milk(not light!)
1TbspYellow curry paste**
2tspTapioca starch
1TbspReduced-sodium soy sauce(gluten free if needed)
1/2TbspCoconut sugar
115 oz CanChickpeas,drained and rinsed (not sodium-reduced)
2CupsCauliflower,cut into large florets
Squeeze of fresh lime juice
Pinch of sea salt
Cilantro,for garnish
Green onion,for garnish
Cooked white rice, or cauliflower rice, for serving
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil on "saute" in your Instant Pot. Once hot, add in the pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the drained tomatoes, coconut milk and curry paste, stirring until the paste is dissolved. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tapioca starch with 4 tsp of the hot liquid from the Instant Pot until smooth. While constantly stirring, whisk it back into the Instant pot, along with the Soy sauce and coconut sugar. Boil until the mixture begins to thicken, about 1 minute.
Stir in the can of chickpeas and cauliflower. Cover the Instant Pot (making sure it's set to sealing!) and manually set it to High Pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Let it pressure release naturally.
Once the pressure has released, squeeze in fresh lime juice and salt to taste.
Garnish with cilantro and green onion and DEVOUR!
Notes
*You need to squeeze out as MUCH moisture as you can from the tomatoes. So, make sure you open the can and keep pressing on the tomatoes, squeezing them out to get as much liquid out as possibly. If you don't, the curry isn't as thick and creamy!**I have not tried this with curry powder. I am sure you could use it - I just can't tell you exactly how much. Also, you would need to add it in when sauteing the red pepper if you try it,
