4 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 stalks green onions, chopped + more greens to garnish
200 grams paneer, cubed, around 1.5 cups paneer cubes

Method* In a large bowl or measuring jar, combine all the ingredients for the sauce- soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha and peanut butter.
* Whisk until it's all smooth and combined. Set aside.
* Press the saute button on the Instant Pot. Once it displays hot, add the sesame oil and the avocado oil. Then add the chopped ginger, garlic and green onion. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
* And then add the paneer and carrots. Cook for 1 minute.
* Add 1.5 cups water and stir. Make sure there's nothing stuck at the bottom of the pan. Pour the prepared sauce on top. Do not stir.
* Close the pot with the lid. Press the manual or pressure cook button and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes with the pressure valve in the sealing position.
* Quick release the pressure.
* Open the pot and press the saute button. Add in the broccoli and bell peppers, cover with a glass lid and let the curry simmer for 5 minutes.
* In a small bowl whisk together cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Remove glass lid after 5 minutes (the broccoli and peppers would have slightly softened by now) and stir in the prepared cornstarch slurry.
* Simmer for 1 more minute, the sauce will thicken. It would continue to thicken as it cools.
* Garnish with green onion and serve paneer & veggies in peanut sauce over brown rice or white rice.
