Love Instant Pot recipes? Our Instant Pot Bolognese Sauce is a must-make!
Ingredients needed
Chicken. I prefer using boneless, skinless chicken thighs but chicken breast can also be used. Butter and Vegetable oil. Onions. Fresh garlic. Fresh ginger. Spices: I prefer using a combination of Garam Masala (which contains turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chili powder and cardamom) along with extra cardamom, paprika and coriander. You can however use any curry powder/blend that you have or like. Tomatoes. I used tomato puree (not paste). Passata can also work. Chopped tomatoes are also fine but I prefer the rich, smoothness the puree adds. You could also add a few teaspoons of tomato paste. Chicken stock. Cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream works best. Sugar. Optional, but I like the way it mellows the acidity of the tomatoes. Salt and black pepper.
How to make butter chicken in an Instant Pot
Can I make this ahead?
Curry is the perfect dish to make ahead as the flavors keep improving. The chicken can be marinated for up to a day in advance. The cooked butter chicken can also be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge. Any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
