Are you a fan of curry? We just love this version of Instant Pot Coconut Chicken Curry, it tastes like the perfect day fall in a bowl. Hi friends, this is Jennifer from JENRON DESIGNS. Today I am sharing an international treat from my recipe box, our Instant Pot Coconut Chicken Curry. This is another one of my copycat recipes of a favorite take-out dish, Massaman Curry, and it is tasty a fall must-try!
Are you a fan of a good curry? This time of year we really start to crave them. It so just happens we love both types, sweet and savory curries, so you are in luck. You can also check out a few of my other favorite curry-style recipes like my sweet Thai Rama Beef and my savory Thai Green Curry Chicken.
Ingredients
So my take and change upon this recipe were to add in sweet potatoes instead of a traditional russet potato, to change up the flavor profile slightly, it adds a nice sweetness to the dish that we really like.
Note: You could use Pumpkin in place of the sweet potatoes for a fall seasonal taste treat
Seasoned Chicken
Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to your Instant Pot on the sauté setting, and brown up your chicken for 2-3 minutes. Then add in your curry spices, sugar, a pinch of salt, and tomato paste. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
Added Veggies
Add in the sweet chopped onion and sweet potato (or pumpkin). Next pour over coconut milk, and chicken stock. Mix slightly using a bamboo spurtle. Seal Instant Pot lid and set to High-Pressure Cook for 15 minutes.
Allow to naturally vent, then stir in 4 tbsp sour cream before serving. This curry is great over plain Jasmine rice, or for additional coconut flavor try the coconut rice recipe below.
* You can garnish with cashews or avocado slices if you wish.
Coconut Rice
Coconut Rice combines 1 3/4 cups of water, 1/2 cup coconut, 2 tsp of sugar, and 2 tbsp of butter with 1 1/2 cup of Jasmine Rice. Cook on rice setting and High-Pressure for 10 minutes.
Note: The Coconut Rice can easily be covered and kept warm in this Instant Pot liner if you have a fresh new one on deck for the next step. Just use your oven mitts to remove, then cover with foil until you are ready to serve.
