Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 carrots 1 inch pieces
  • 2 potatoes 2 inch pieces
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs 1 inch pieces
  • ½ apple grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 3.2 ounces golden curry sauce mix
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In an Instant Pot on sauté mode high, add oil and sauté the onions, ginger and garlic for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Turn off the heat and mix in carrots, potatoes, chicken, apple, soy sauce, ketchup, and chicken broth.
  • Place the curry cubes on top and do not mix.
  • Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high for 4 minutes then quick release until the valve drops.
  • Mix the curry until the sauce is fully dissolved and add salt to taste.

Notes

  • Use your favorite Japanese curry roux. They come in a variety of brands and spice levels. Golden Curry and Vermont Curry are two popular brands.
  • Chop the potatoes into large pieces so they don't fall apart. I used russet potatoes but you can use Yukon gold potatoes which hold their shape better.
  • Adjust the curry sauce based on your preference. I like my curry sauce thick but you can add more water or broth based on your taste. For a thinner sauce, add ½ cup of chicken broth at a time until your desired consistency.
  • Prep and cook time does not include time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure and quick release.
