Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and let it preheat for a minute.
  2. Add olive oil and chopped onion. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, sauté 1 more minute.
  3. Stir in curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for another 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
  4. Add cauliflower, diced tomatoes, coconut milk, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to Manual (High Pressure) for 3 minutes.
  6. Quick release the pressure. Stir the curry. If needed, simmer on sauté mode for 2–3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  7. Serve hot over rice or with naan. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • To add protein, stir in canned chickpeas after cooking.
  • Let the curry rest a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice before serving for a fresh pop.
