This vegan curry recipe is perfect for a fast Instant Pot recipe. We used canned chickpeas for this recipe. You could easily use dry garbanzo beans (chickpeas) but would need to cook for longer. If you make that choice, adjust time as needed for dry beans. I have the Instant Pot DUO60 and love it for larger recipes, but it also works great for a side like this!
