Chicken · Curry · Indian · Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 1 Chicken (cut up or you can use boneless chicken breasts and thighs)
- 1 tsp. Coriander seeds
- 1 Yellow onion (Spanish)
- 1 tsp. Fresh grated ginger
- 1 tsp. Garlic powder (or fresh garlic)
- 2 tsp. Garam Masala powder
- 1 tsp. Chili powder
- 1 or 2 chopped Tomato
- 2 tbsp. Oil
- Salt to taste
- Cilantro leaves for garnishing
Marinade
- 1 ¼ to 2 tsp. Chili powder (depending how hot your chili powder is and how hot you want the dish)
- 1/2 tsp. Turmeric powder
- 2 tsp. Ginger powder (or fresh grated ginger)
- 2 tsp. Garlic powder
- 2 tsp. Coriander powder
- Juice of 1 whole lemon
- Salt to taste
Directions
- Mix the marinade ingredients then smear all over the chicken. Cover and keep in refrigerator for 15 minutes to an hour.
- Note* I rub the marinade mixture all over the chicken and then put into a vacuum seal bag and vacuum seal on moist setting. Then I put in the refrigerator for an hour. This does a really good job of marinating the chicken.
- While the chicken is marinating, chop the onion, measure out the spices and chop the tomatoes.
Heat oil in InstantPot on Sauté setting.
- Add coriander seeds to heat and let some of them pop. Then add onion and sauté, until they turn translucent.
- Add ginger and garlic powder, garam masala, coriander powder and chili powder and sauté for a minute.
- Add tomatoes and cook, until they become soft.
- Add chicken pieces and sauté for a minute.
- Add 1/2 cup of water and salt. (No water required for boneless chicken)
- Put lid on and set to chicken setting and adjust to 10-15 minutes. If using boneless chicken you can cook for about 8 minutes.
- Place chicken on plate, spoon up the tomatoes and onions, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with Chipotle style rice.
