Description
This easy vegan cauliflower chickpea curry is made in the Instant Pot and ready in 20 minutes! It uses coconut milk and tomatoes to make it thick and so creamy.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
- ½ Large Red Pepper, Roughly Chopped
- 15 ounces, fluid Petite Diced Tomatoes, Very Well Drained (See Note)
- 1 cup Full-fat Coconut Milk (not Light!)
- 1 Tablespoon Yellow Curry Paste
- 2 teaspoons Tapioca Starch
- 1 Tablespoon Reduced-sodium Soy Sauce (gluten Free If Needed)
- ½ Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
- 15 ounces, weight Chickpeas, Drained And Rinsed (not Sodium-reduced)
- 2 cups Cauliflower, Cut Into Large Florets
- Squeeze Of Fresh Lime Juice
- Pinch Of Sea Salt
- Cilantro And Green Onion, For Garnish
- Cooked White Rice, Or Cauliflower Rice, For Serving
Preparation
Heat coconut oil on Saute in your Instant Pot. Once hot, add pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Add drained tomatoes, coconut milk and curry paste, stirring until paste is dissolved. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, whisk tapioca starch with 4 teaspoons of the hot liquid from the Instant Pot until smooth. While constantly stirring, whisk it back into the Instant pot, along with the soy sauce and coconut sugar. Boil until mixture begins to thicken, about 1 minute.
Stir in chickpeas and cauliflower. Cover the Instant Pot (making sure it’s set to sealing!) and manually set it to High Pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Let it pressure release naturally.
Once the pressure has released, squeeze in fresh lime juice and salt to taste. Garnish with cilantro and green onion and devour!
Notes:
1. You need to squeeze out as much moisture as you can from the tomatoes. Make sure you open the can and keep pressing on the tomatoes, squeezing them out to get as much liquid out as possibly. If you don’t, the curry won’t be as thick and creamy!
2. I have not tried this with curry powder. I am sure you could use it—I just can’t tell you exactly how much. Also, you would need to add it in when sauteing the red pepper if you try it.
