Instant Pot Shahi Chhole
It is rich, little-bit sweet, spicy and sour, and its gravy has been enriched with Coconut Milk, Dairy-Free Yogurt, and cashew-raisin paste and basic Indian spices.
I have made this Shahi Chole in Instant Pot. If you don’t have Instant pot, you may make it in a pan too.
I will share both the ways on the recipe card.
This recipe is different from regular Chole. It is so easy and tastes wonderful with Naan, Rice, Roti, and Paratha.
What makes this dish rich, unique and delicious? Silks Dairy-free products. I have used 2 Dairy-free products.
1 – Original Coconutmilk which has 50% more calcium than dairy milk1, Excellent source of vitamin E, Absolutely no cholesterol, Free of dairy, lactose, gluten, casein, egg, and MSG, Enrolled in the Non-GMO Project's product verification program and No artificial colors, flavors or funny business
2 – Plain Almond Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative. It has 8 grams of plant-powered protein, Delicious taste and creamy texture, Live and active cultures, Free of cholesterol, dairy, soy, lactose, gluten and carrageenan, No artificial colors, flavors or funny business, Excellent source of Calcium and Vitamin D, Vegan, Verified by the Non-GMO Project’s product verification program, No high-fructose corn syrup.
How Cool Is That!! Now that's what we call the power of plant-based nutrition! My son loves their Chocolate and peach flavor dairy-free yogurts. 🙂
I found Silk Original Coconutmilk in Dairy section and Silk Plain Almond Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative in yogurt section at my local Walmart.
If you remember my Vegetable Thai noodle Soup post where I have mentioned about my 2018 resolution – More plant Based and Less-dairy meal.
So far health-wise, My 2018 has been going really well!!
I have been using more plant-based and less-dairy products and ingredients that offer good nutrition.
Silk has made it easier for us to make better choices. Their products are not just delicious but also wholesome and make my family feel good.
That is why I really like Silk’s New Progress Is Perfection campaign. Health is hard, but feeling healthier doesn't have to be.
Silk's Progress is Perfection campaign fights the notion that "extreme" is the only path to being healthier, small victories are still victories.

This vegan version of chole sounds and looks so yumm! Your photography is spell bounding and fantastic! Lovely share 🙂
This looks delicious, Dhwani, quite a different version, I’m sure it was great!
I love using coconut milk; it adds such a lovely depth of flavour and lends a touch of silkiness to this dish. YourThis vegan chole recipe is sure to steal some hearts!
That Chhole looks super silky and rich. We south indians love using coconut milk in gravies and also to thicken dishes based of coconut. This is a good choice for vegans. Chhole and rice in a bowl means life is sorted!
Loved the texture of the curry.. Looks amazing and inviting ! Loved your version !
Such a creamy and delicious looking chole!
Chole looks so yummy, can have the whole bowl of it.
Looks really good! I love both of silk brand. I am a big fan of vegan milk and yogurt. Next time I will try your version of this curry!
A recipe name that begins with the word “instant” instantly resonates with me! I love such quick and easy recipes with big wow factor. These chole must taste creamy rich and royal with coconut milk, cashews and raisins going in. Your clicks are a visual treat too!
What a lovely recipe, i have tried silk many a times, they are good.
I am feeling hungry seeing such a lipsmacking chole curry! I must make some soon.. Never coconut milk in chole. It must impart a great flavour and texture to the gravy
Shahi chole in IP seems like a wonderful vegan dish to try when you are in a hurry to cook chickpeas. Wonderful pictures and lovely presentation dear.
