  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 2 white potatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

    Set a 6-quart or 8-quart Instant Pot on the Sauté mode and add the oil.

  2. 2

    Let the oil heat up for a few minutes and then add the chicken. Stir so the chicken starts to cook on all sides.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato paste, curry powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Turn off the Sauté mode and use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape off any parts of the chicken or spices that may have stuck to the bottom of the pot.

    When the cooking time is complete, let the pressure come down naturally for about 10  minutes. Then, use the quick release to release any remaining pressure.

    Carefully remove the lid and stir in the coconut milk or yogurt.
