How to cook deliciously - Instant Pot Butternut Squash-Chicken Curry

1. Stage

In a small bowl, combine the spices; set aside. 

2. Stage

Set the Instant Pot to high sauté. Add ghee, onion, and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and garlic are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Add ginger and spice mixture and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste and jalapeño and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Pour in broth.

3. Stage

Add chicken and squash; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Lock the lid and set the instant pot to high pressure for 5 minutes. When the instant pot indicates that it is done, manually release the pressure.

Stir sauce, breaking up butternut squash a bit to thicken the sauce slightly. Serve spooned over rice with yogurt, almonds, and cilantro over top, if desired.
