INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cubed
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil- 1/2 chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger root
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 14 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup full fat canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt.
-
Press sauté button and melt the coconut oil, add onion, garlic, ginger and 6 spices (from coriander to cardamom) and sauté until the vegetables are soft and the spices are fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add the tomatoes and use an immersion to blend until smooth (or blend in the blender), add the chicken, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir, cook high pressure 15 minutes. (Note: it takes several minutes for the pot to pressurize.)
-
Quick release, add the cauliflower and peas and cook 3 minutes on high pressure. (Note: add more volume by using the whole head of cauliflower, but increase cook time to 5 minutes.)
-
Quick release, stir in coconut milk and serve garnished with cilantro.
