Step 1

Turn the Instant Pot on and press the Sauté button. Once the pot is hot, add the olive oil, onion, ginger and garlic and stir through. Cook for 1 minute, stirring, then add the chicken.

Step 2

Add the curry paste and stir through the chicken. Now, add the sugar, fish sauce, coconut cream and chicken stock. Stir through well and press Cancel to stop the Sautéing.

Step 3

Pop the lid on top and lock, making sure the valve is pointing to Sealing. Press Manual/Pressure Cook, HIGH pressure and set to 7 minutes. The Instant Pot will say ON and it will take about 5-10 minutes for the pressure to build up, after which the timer will start. Though, the curry will be cooking during the whole time.

Step 4

Once the timer finishes, allow a couple of minutes for natural release, then use the quick release method (point the top valve to Venting) to let off the rest of the pressure. Be careful of the hot steam jet!

Step 5

Open the lid and press the Sauté button again. Add juice of half a lime and stir through. Have a little taste. Add more salt or fish sauce if needed.

Step 6

Add all the vegetables and cook on Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring a few times.

Step 7

Dissolve the tapioca or arrowroot flour in 2 tablespoons of water. Stir into the curry to thicken the sauce. Finish adding the remaining coconut cream and then stir in cilantro.
