Trying to put a 30 minute meal on the table, but are craving something exotic? No need for everyday boring stand-bys or unhealthy, chemical laden convenience foods when you can serve Instant Pot Thai Coconut Peanut Curry. Instant Pots have streamlined everyday cooking, and everyone - even busy cooks - are able to put quick, but delicious meals on the table anytime. Weeknights call for quick, and this delicious dish will become a fall-back weeknight dinner. This recipe is not only fast, but it has minimal ingredients that can be found easily at any large grocery store on the Asian aisle.

If you have two Instant pots (appliance junkies will certainly have several - don't ask me how I know), you can cook rice in one of them, otherwise, use your rice cooker or stovetop and start the rice first so it will be finished at the same time as the curry.
