Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- ½ teaspoon Red chili powder
- 14 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Begin by setting your Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ function. Add the coconut oil to heat up for about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they become translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Incorporate the ground turmeric, ground cumin, garam masala, and red chili powder into the onion mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to release the flavors.
- Add the cubed eggplant to the pot and sauté with the spice mixture for 2 minutes, ensuring the eggplant is well-coated.
- Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice, and stir to combine.
- Add the coconut milk to the pot and mix well. Season with salt to your preference.
- Secure the Instant Pot lid in place, set the valve to ‘Sealing’, and cook on ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 3 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure.
- Carefully open the lid and give the curry a gentle stir. If desired, you can use the ‘Sauté’ function to reduce the sauce for a thicker consistency.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, as a standalone dish or paired with keto-friendly cauliflower rice.
