This Instant Pot green curry is insanely creamy, infused with fresh aromatic herbs, and served with tender white navy beans. It’s healthy, filling, delicious, rich in protein, and so easy to prepare!
Everyone loves a good and spicy curry, and even more when it’s made in one pot!
Of all the curries I tried, green curry is definitely my favorite. This Thai-inspired curry starts with the mushrooms and carrots that are sautéed for a few minutes in the Instant Pot. Depending on what you have on hand, you can also add red bell pepper, zucchini, or even pumpkin. Then we deglaze the pot with a drizzle of soy sauce for extra flavor.
In the meantime, let’s prepare the sauce! Add full-fat coconut milk, green curry paste, fresh cilantro, fresh basil, lime juice, and finally, a good pinch of salt to a blender and blend until smooth.
We are almost done. It’s now time to let the Instant Pot do its job! Transfer the green curry sauce to the pot, add the dry navy beans, a cup of water, and close the lid.
You want to pressure cook for about 50 minutes. I like my beans very, very tender, but if you prefer them to be a bit firmer, feel free to reduce the cooking time by about 10 minutes.
Once the pressure has been released manually, let the curry cool for a few minutes before serving it with white rice, quinoa, or noodles! Add a squeeze of lime, and top with more fresh herbs and chopped chili for extra spiciness!
