Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil or ghee
- 1 ½ cups onions chopped
- 2 teaspoon garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon ginger minced
- 2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste!
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 ¼ cup chickpeas homemade or canned
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Press Saute and add oil or ghee to inner pot of the Instant Pot.
- Once the oil is hot, add onions, garlic and ginger. Stir until onion is golden brown. Press Cancel. The spices in the next step will cook in the residual heat.
- Add coriander, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, salt and stir to coat, about 30 seconds. Make sure there's nothing stuck to the bottom of the inner pot – deglaze as needed.
- Stir in water, coconut milk and chickpeas.
- Add the arborio rice, and don't stir. Just ensure that the rice is submerged by pushing down with a spatula.
- Close the lid and pressure cook on High Pressure for 7 minutes.
- Do a natural pressure release. [Read More: The Different Pressure Release Methods]
- Open the Instant Pot and carefully stir the curried risotto. Garnish with cilantro.
- Let the rice rest open for 5 to 7 minutes.
Notes
- Prep time does not include steps that are already accounted for in the ingredient list, e.g. chopped onion, minced garlic, etc.
- Use a liquid measuring cup to measure water and coconut milk.
- You may substitute 1 tablespoon of curry powder for the coriander, cumin, garam masala, chili powder, and turmeric.
- The arborio rice is layered on top without stirring in to help you avoid the Burn Message. However, I do stir the rice and other ingredients together with no sealing issues.
