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.

(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..)
