Ingredients

Instructions

  • Turn Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode and heat oil.
  • Add cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaf and saute for 1-2 minutes until these whole spices are fragrant.
  • Add onion, garlic, ginger and saute for a few minutes until onion is translucent and garlic/ ginger are fragrant.
  • Turn off the pressure cooker.
  • Add tomatoes, yogurt, water, salt, pepper, curry powder, red chili flakes, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala and use a hand- held blender to puree everything. It does not have to be super smooth.
  • Add chicken and mix until fully coated.
  • Put the lid on and turn up the the valve to “Sealing.”
  • Select “Manual” mode and set the timer for 5 minutes.
  • When the cook time is over, do quick pressure release to remove pressure.
  • Remove lid and gently stir the curry.
  • Cook uncovered on "Saute" mode for or a little longer to evaporate/reduce excess liquid and thicken the curry. Don't mix it or stir it too much because that would break up the chicken cubes and shred it.
  • Garnish with cilantro. Enjoy!
