This quick and easy Indian chicken curry comes together faster than you'd expect with your Instant Pot®. Ginger, garlic, coriander, garam masala, and chili powder make it absolutely fragrant. Serve with naan bread and basmati rice.

This is a great easy Indian dish. The spices make it full of flavor and it only took 10 minutes for my instant Pot to naturally release the pressure so doesn t take too long. We served it over veggie rice to reduce the carbs. Even the kids gave it a thumbs up. Read More

My Favourite at the moment. The cooking times seem a bit long, but creates a great curry, to go with rice and some plain yogurt. quick and simple but authentic tastes! Read More

Delicious! Chicken was so tender. We went for an hour long walk and just left it to natural release in the instant pot. I added some frozen peas, sliced carrots, tomato paste, and curry powder. Read More

Beautiful. Tasty. Fragrant. Next time I would add a little more tomato sauce to give us a little more sauce overall. I substituted a vindaloo spice mix for the Indian curry and it tasted fantastic! The easy cleanup with the instant pot is a bonus. Will definitely make this again. Read More

A quick and simple dish packed with flavor. It only took a few minutes to prep the ingredients, about fifteen minutes to sauté the ingredients, and then only about 25 more minutes to cook. I added green peas when putting the spices in to add veggies and texture. My 2 yr old and 5 year old loved this. I will definitely be making this regularly now. Read More
