Instant Pot® Shrimp Curry
Absolutely delicious and easy South Indian curry. One of my husband's favorite dishes. Shrimp cooked in spiced, creamy onion and tomato-based gravy with a subtle coconut flavor. I have used Instant Pot® Duo Mini (the 3-quart size). Serve with rice or roti.

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function.
Add oil, mustard seeds, curry leaves, ginger-garlic paste, and fenugreek powder.
Stir well to prevent burning or sticking to the pot.
Add onion and tomato, along with salt and turmeric.
Saute until onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons water, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander, and cumin into a paste in a small bowl.
Add spice paste to the onions in the pot and stir well for 1 minute.
Add tamarind and 1/4 cup water and stir to prevent burning or sticking to the pot.
Cook and stir until oil starts separating out, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add 2 cups water and cover the pot with the lid.
Simmer 2 minutes more on Saute mode.
Add shrimp and stir well.
Close and lock the lid.
Select high pressure and set the timer for 3 minutes.
Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes.
Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes.
Unlock and remove the lid.
Select Saute mode again and stir coconut cream into the curry.
Simmer until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Season with salt, if desired.
