Instructions
Instant Pot Directions

- Add the veggies, salt, pepper, homemade Kerala garam masala and 1 can of coconut milk.
- Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 3 minutes at high pressure.
- Quick release.
- Press sauté and pour in the remaining cup of coconut milk. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Stovetop Directions
- Melt coconut oil in a dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add the whole spices and after a minute, add the onion, serrano, ginger and curry leaves to the pot and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the onions soften and become fragrant.
- Add the veggies, salt, pepper, homemade Kerala garam masala, 1 can of coconut milk and ½ cup of water (making this on the stovetop requires adding some water) to the pot and bring the curry to a low boil, then cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Pour in the remaining cup of coconut milk, bring the mixture to a boil then turn off the heat. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to taste.
