Description

Ingredients

• 2-3 lbs (family pack) boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 Tbsp ghee
• 1½ large onions (chopped)
• 2½ - 3⅓ tsp salt
• 2 tsp garlic powder or 2 Tbsp fresh garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp ginger powder or 2 Tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 heaping tsp turmeric
• 2 heaping tsp paprika
• 1½ tsp cayenne powder
• 1½ - 2 cups stewed or canned tomatoes and the liquid
• 370 ml tomato paste
• 2 cans coconut milk (*NOT the coconut drink - see link* Allow these to separate - DO NOT shake. Best if left in fridge overnight)
• 2 heaping tsp garam masala
• ½ cup sliced almond
• ½ cup cilantro

Directions

• If your pressure cooker has a sauté setting (as does the Instant Pot), use it to melt ghee.
• Add 2 tsp salt and onions. Cook until onions are soft and translucent (you can cover with a lid to speed this process.
• Add in garlic, ginger, turmeric, paprika and cayenne. Mix in and cook until fragrant.
• Add canned tomatoes and the watery portion of coconut milk, mixing thoroughly with spices (getting all of the spices stuck to the bottom off the pan).
• Add chicken and stir well.
• Assuming youve selected to use bite-sized pieces of chicken, the time to cook the chicken will be fast: 8-10 minutes depending on the pressure your cooker uses. With the Instant Pot it took 8 minutes of pressurized cooking time.
• Once cooked, stir in coconut cream, tomato paste, garam masala and most of the cilantro. Add more salt if needed.
• Top with sliced almonds and garnish with more cilantro.
