- Place the beef mince in the pressure cooker over medium high heat; cook until brown and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the beef mince, and drain off the excess fat.
- Return the open pressure cooker to the hotplate over medium heat, pour in the olive oil and stir in the onion, green capsicum and red chilli. Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook and stir for about 30 more seconds. Return the meat to the pressure cooker; mix in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, brown sugar, cocoa, chilli flakes, chilli powder, cumin, salt and water.
- Lock the lid, bring the cooker up to pressure, reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook for 8 minutes. Remove cooker from the heat and let the pressure reduce on its own, 5 to 10 minutes.
- When the pressure is fully released, remove the lid, stir and serve.

Seems very tasty however dish is still reducing in a pot as with the 500ml (two cups) water it was more like chilli con soup. New pressure cooker and this was the first dish so I don't know if it was my error somehow. I will try less water next time. - 08 Jul 2012
Very Very yummy - although I used 3 birds eye chillies and no chilli flakes or powder. It was perfect. - 07 May 2012
This Chili has a great texture. I was skeptical of a chili that didn't include any corn starch to thicken the sauce. But this really turned out well. The pressure cooker makes this a quick, easy, and energy efficient recipe. - 27 Nov 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
