For the Curry Base
  1. Select Sauté mode, heat oil, then cook chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 3–4 minutes until golden edges and sweet fragrance fills your kitchen.
  2. Add curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and chili powder, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and the vibrant colors bloom in the pot.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, scraping any browned bits with a wooden spoon, then simmer on Sauté for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
For the Vegetables
  1. Layer carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, and bell peppers, seal the lid, set to High Pressure for 5 minutes, then allow a quick release when complete.
For Finishing
  1. Switch to Sauté on Low, pour in creamy coconut milk and green peas, simmer for 2 minutes until silky sauce forms and peas are tender.
  2. Spoon curry into bowls, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top, and add a lime wedge if desired for a zesty pop of brightness.
