First of all, let me say that #InstantPot is a must-have tool for efficient batch cooking! After many months of debating if I really needed another kitchen appliance, The fiance and I said, let's do it!!! and brought one home. I'm sure she agrees when I say we have zero regrets....#AF...that's where you're supposed to use that right?
We use it frequently, especially when we haven't thought about what we want to make. Since you can throw frozen meat in there it eliminates the whole "we haven't thawed anything and need to re-up on fresh veggies" excuse.
It’s excellent for soup/chili, big batches of pork/chicken, and whole chickens. I even cooked a frozen roast and it was perfect! All in a fraction of the time of slow cooker, which by the wy it can be used in a slow cooker setting. Two for one kitchen appliance in one....SCORE! With all that said, this recipe can absolutely be made in a slow cooker if you are not on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet!
The flavors in this traditional Indian dish are so fantastic and fragrant. This is some serious comfort food without any guilt! There are many variations of this recipe, but I kept it Whole30 and Paleo compliant by using coconut milk in the sauce. I used mild spice, but some additional heat would be awesome. Throw this on top of some cauliflower rice and you have a delicious and nutritious meal in under an hour. Oh, and since you batched cook this recipe... The leftovers will be fabulous!
