    A quick and easy Instant Pot Chicken Curry Recipe A chicken stew made with bone-in chicken and cooked slowly to make a tender, spicy, and comforting Indian curry dish.

    Ingredients

    • 6 pieces bone-in skinless chicken (drumsticks or thighs)
    • 1 tbsp fresh grated garlic (more or less depending on spice tolerance)
    • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger (more or less depending on spice tolerance)
    • 1 tbsp fresh grated turmeric (or 1 tsp powder)
    • 1 large finely diced, onion (food processed, grated, or chopped)
    • ½ medium tomato, diced small or food processed
    • 1 tbsp tomato paste
    • 1 tbsp chicken/garam masala (depending on spice level)
    • 1 tbsp coriander powder
    • 4 oz water
    • handful cilantro
    • red chili powder (I add 1 tsp of extra spicy powder)
    • green garlic (optional)
    • salt

    Directions

    1. Turn Instant Pot (IP) on saute mode, add oil, and wait for it to heat. Add all of the dry spices-cloves, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, peppercorns, star anise, and chili peppers (all optional I do not add these if my kids are eating). Then add the cumin seeds.
    2. Immediately add the chopped onions so the cumin seeds do not brown too much and stir.
    3. Once the onions are translucent add turmeric, ginger, garlic, chicken/garam masala, tomato paste, salt, and dried coriander powder. Mix well and continue to cook for 2 minutes while continuing to stir.
    4. Add de-skinned chicken and water. Mix it well.
    5. Close the lid. Set the IP to manual, 12 minutes, high pressure, and allow it to naturally release pressure.
    6. Once the pressure is released and the valve drops (cooled), open the lid.
    7. Set the pot to saute mode.
    8. Mix the sorghum flour and water together in a bowl and pour it into the pot. Add the green garlic (optional). Mix well and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
    9. Add a handful of chopped cilantro.
    10. Remove the IP insert and gently swivel the insert to stir the content (instead of using a spatula).
    11. Serve with rice, roti, naan, bread, or as is.
