Instapot Quick Curry

As the winter of 2020 rolls on, I want rich, hearty, tasty food. And I want it now!

Prior winters, a quick call to a local provider would generate this quickly, with my move to Suburbia, this is no longer the case. (Even to local pizza place can’t find me) . So one must fall back to basic skills.

With the press of commuting, and work, and all the other things that consume my life, I reach for my personal food T.A.R.D.I.S, the Instapot.

This is a basic recipe, one can add other veggies, swap the protein for a vegetarian compliant ingredient, bump the spice, or swap the water for a stock, (Watch the salt level).

Do note the step to dissolve the curry block in hot liquid.

Notes

Serve with rice, maybe some naan.

Side with Chutneys, and or yogurt, in case you were a little heavy on chili's 

One can add additional veggies, like baby sweet corn, fresh green beans, eggplant, zucchini.

(Yes, this makes it more of a stew not a curry, and the curry police will be around shortly to advise me of such, but this is my flurry of curry..)
