- Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until just soft.

Notes
Tips and Techniques for the Best Instant Pot Coconut Curry Meatballs
- Make your meatballs ahead of time or use frozen meatballs to save time.
- Leave the cauliflower in larger pieces so that it doesn't become too mushy and break up too much as it cooks.
- Do not attempt to cook rice in with the curry. I attempted this several different ways and the results were far from ideal. For best results, I would recommend preparing rice, noodles, or quinoa separately on the stove top while the curry is cooking in the Instant Pot.
