I think I should rename tofucado to tofucurry (even though, funnily enough, I have never made a curry with tofu, but neither with avocados). Either way, I think curry has become one of my go-to meals because it always tastes so good and you can basically make a curry out of most pantry ingredients. And when you have an Instant Pot… Well, it makes it even easier. Here my Instant Pot Cauliflower Curry.
La recette est en français tout en bas du post!
Ingredients
- Cauliflower
- Garlic and red onion
- Can of peeled tomatoes (400 grams)
- Spices: Paprika, curry, curcuma & chives
- Tomato paste
- Milk (if you have coconut milk, this will taste better!)
- Veggie broth

How to make this Instant Pot Cauliflower curry ?
It’s an Instant Pot recipe which 90% of the times it means it’s going to be super easy. Plus you already know I don’t like complicated recipes.
We are going to sauté (select sauté mode in your instant pot) the onion & garlic for 2-3 minutes, then we will just dump all the ingredients).

Once all the ingredients are in, it’s time to launch our Instant Pot Ritual: Close the lid, set the valve to sealing and click on manual. Set the timer to 2 minutes. The Instant Pot will take around 15 to 20 minutes to reach pressure. When the timer goes off, do a 5 minute natural release followed by a Quick Release (QR). When it’s safe to do so, open the lid and enjoy your beautiful cauliflower curry.

I’d suggest waiting a couple of minutes before serving & eating it, mostly because it’s going to be hot like lava, but also cause that way all the flavors will infuse together better in those last extra minutes.
Serve this curry with rice, naan bread, or rice noodles if you are feeling funky. We bought a huge package last time, and rice noodles are so good, we kinda want to eat them all the time.
