Cooking Steps
- Begin by using the Instant Pot's 'Sauté' function. Add a drizzle of olive oil and place the lamb stew meat in the pot, browning it in batches for about 4-5 minutes until caramelized. This searing step enhances the flavor of your lamb curry, so don't rush. Once browned, remove the lamb and set it aside.
- With the lamb out of the pot, add chopped onions, sliced carrots, and drained canned tomatoes. Sauté these ingredients for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, curry powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Sauté for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom.
- Return the browned lamb pieces to the pot, then add chopped Yukon Gold potatoes, full-fat coconut milk, and the reserved tomato juice. Ensure that everything is well combined and submerged.
- Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to 'Sealing.' Cook on high pressure for 14 minutes; the pot will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure. Once cooking is complete, perform a quick release of the pressure.
- After the pressure is released, switch back to the 'Sauté' function. Stir in sliced zucchini and cook for about 5-6 minutes until tender yet crisp.
- Finally, stir in fresh lime juice to brighten the dish and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes
For richer flavor, allow the lamb curry to sit for a few extra minutes before serving; this lets spices meld beautifully. When freezing leftovers, skip adding zucchini; add it fresh when reheating for great texture.
