1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup vegetable broth

2 tablespoons tomato paste

Method

Turn on the Instant Pot and select the "Saute" function. Heat the coconut oil in the pot.

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are toasted and aromatic.

Add the diced potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and frozen peas to the pot. Stir to combine with the spices.

Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine, making sure the tomato paste is evenly distributed.

Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to the "Sealing" position. Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" setting and set the timer for 5 minutes.

Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to the "Venting" position to release any remaining pressure.

Carefully remove the lid and stir the curry. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

Serve the Instant Pot Vegetable Curry hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, and accompanied by cooked rice or naan bread.
