Soycurls: Add 2 to 2-1/2 cups soy curls and 1/2 cup water to the sauce, Pressure cook for 6 minutes and natural release. You can also add the soy curls earlier with the uncooked sauce. Press saute on Instant Pot. When hot, add the oil then add finely chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and chili. Add good pinch of salt, mix well and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir occasionally Add the spices and mix well. Add bell pepper and mix well. Add tomatoes and non dairy yogurt and salt and mix well. (stir well for a few seconds to pick up the scorched onion bits, else they tend to scorch more and cause burn errors in some sensitive instant pots) Cancel saute. Close the lid. Pressure cook for 11 to 12 minutes (manual high pressure). Let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid. mix, taste and adjust salt, flavor, heat. Add some sugar or maple syrup if needed. (I add 1/2 ts if using plain unsweetened yogurt). Add some more fenugreek leaves or cilantro, some fresh smoked paprika or cayenne, and garam masala for garnish. At this point you can freeze the tikka masala sauce for upto 2 months, and refrigerate for upto 4 days. Add some non dairy dream for creamier and use or store(refrigerated or freeze). You can also blend half of the sauce for smoother. Recipe by Richa Hingle Recipe FROM: MMMMM
