Chicken curry made in the instant pot instructions

1. Add Ghee (you can use butter or oil instead if you prefer) to the IP (or pan) add the whole spices and put IP on Sauté function add the onions and brown... in the IP is so quick it will only take 5/6 mins....in the saucepan it will take 15/20 mins.
2. Then add the passata or tinned tomatoes and the powdered spices (except Garam Masala) plus salt garlic ginger and green chilli. Give this all a good stir. I do this part with the IP off as it’s still very hot from the onions cooking. Also add 1/2 cups of water depending on how much sauce you require.
3. Add chicken and stir. Put the instant pot on for 20 min on low pressure cook. The IP will cook for 20 mins then normally it cools for 20 mins...But I cancel cooking after 20 mins & would suggest you release the air yourself and check your curry as it will more then likely be done. Ive cooked it in IP 4 times now and it’s always done in 20mins for me..
4. You will know it’s done when the oil sits on top of the sauce. If you feel it needs a few more mins just put the lid on for 5/6 mins while the IP is turned off it will still cook as the base is still very hot.
5. Once your happy your chicken is done add Garam masala and coriander.
6. Serve hot with rice naan/chappati.
