Turn to your Instant Pot® to make leg of lamb melt-in-your-mouth tender without hours of simmering. The rich, aromatic combination of coconut milk, tomato, and spices makes korma a Southern Indian favorite. Riced cauliflower is a great accompaniment to this saucy korma. Or try brown rice for nutty flavor and a dose of whole grains.
