Lamb Curry Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

Sharing is caring!

Instant Pot Lamb Curry. Where did that come from? Well, I was sitting around brainstorming as us food bloggers do. I look in the fridge and I’m like Oh yea, Lamb Chops. I had bought them at the store because they looked really good and the price was right. So i grabbed them. I buy the lamb shoulder chops because they are pretty versatile. You can grill them,pan fry them,braise them and in this case throw them into the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Originally this wasn’t my plan of what i was going to do with them but I am really happy with this Instant Pot Lamb Curry recipe.

I always try to come up with recipes most of the time that don’t use crazy unique ingredients. I like to have ingredients in the recipe that most people would have in their home. I’m not sure curry powderis that common but to make curry you have to have some curry powder right? I mean the Instant Pot is pretty much all about simple and quick, but why not step it up a bit with this Instant Pot Lamb Curry Recipe. It is simple and can be ready in about 30 minutes cook time.

How to Make Lamb Curry in the Instant Pot

This Instant Pot Lamb Curry is totally delicious. The meat comes out very tender like is has been braising all day. This is why I just love my Instant Pot. Great food in a fraction of the time. This recipe is really simple and is almost a Dump Meal. You basically put all the ingredient in at once and hit a few buttons, but I like to do a little saute of the lamb and the onions for a few minutes. I think it brings out more flavor even though it isn’t a necessary step.

This is the time of year to make this dish. It’s tasty and bold and great when the weather is starting to cool down. You can serve this over rice or even mashed potatoes if you prefer. No matter how you serve it take advantage of the sauce because it is thick rich and savory. This recipe is a straight up dish of comfort food.

Can This Lamb Curry Be Made in a Slow Cooker?

This dish can absolutely also be made in a crockpot. The recipe process is basically the same and the cook time would be 3 hours on HIGH or 6 hours on LOW. When cook time is completed stir in the cornstarch slurry and let cook 20 minutes more.

Thanks so much for stopping by my piece of home on the internet. If you decide to try this recipe or already have please leave me a rating and a comment. If you just have a question that’s ok too. Also if you like this Lamb Curry Recipe you will also Like this Chicken Curry Instant Pot Recipe.
