how to make Instant Pot Chicken Curry

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken (breast or thighs)
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 slice ginger (minced)
  • 2 tomatoes (diced)
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Dice the onion, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes.

2️⃣ Sauté in the Instant Pot

  1. Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and add cooking oil.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then add the tomatoes and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in the curry powder, cumin powder, and turmeric powder, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes to release the spices' flavors.

3️⃣ Pressure Cook

  1. Add the chicken to the Instant Pot, followed by the chicken broth or water.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the vent to Sealing.
  4. Set the Instant Pot to Manual (High Pressure) and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Once the cooking is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.

4️⃣ Final Touches and Serve

  1. Add the coconut milk to the curry and stir well. Adjust the seasoning with salt or pepper as needed.
  2. Serve the curry in bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Tips:

  • Adding coconut milk makes the curry rich and creamy.
  • For a more tender and flavorful curry, use chicken thighs instead of breast.
  • The tomatoes add a touch of acidity, balancing the spices.
  • For spiciness, add chili peppers or chili powder to your liking.

This Instant Pot Chicken Curry is a delicious and easy meal that's perfect for a cozy dinner or meal prep. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors with minimal effort! 😋
