Follow The Directions

01

Step

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Add butter; cook until melted. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken; cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, coriander, chili powder, salt, garam masala, turmeric, black pepper, cumin, and bay leaf.

02

Step

Close and lock the lid. Select the poultry setting, set the timer for 15 minutes, and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

03

Step

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.

For a richer flavor, brown the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
Serve hot with freshly cooked basmati rice and warm naan bread. A dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a refreshing touch.
